The judges of the Court of Cassation they have been called to examine the case of four Sicilian hunters who ended up on trial for a very particular matter. The events took place some time ago in the countryside between turret e Palermo, to be precise in the Cozzo Lupo area. They are a 24-year-old, a 30-year-old, a 51-year-old and a 59-year-old who were convicted of hunting in a period in which hunting was not allowed and authorized. Simply put they were using bird calls in order to allow training their dogs, without however being in possession of rifles or carbines.
A year ago, the four were stopped by forest rangers who had discovered the equipment used for attract quail. In the off-road vehicles left parked before proceeding on foot, however, there was no weapon, a detail that had to be decisive immediately. In fact, innocence could be proved without problem of all those involved, fortunately the Supreme Court proved the hunters right.
The reconstruction was accepted, they were all in that area just to train theirs pointing dogs, without having guns, ammunition, nets or any bird traps available. The hunting attitude has failed and therefore the awaited acquittal has taken place for the defendants.
