Acquitted for tenuousness of the facts. This is the decision taken by the judge of the Court of Forlì against two hunters from Cesenatico, a thirty year old and a seventy year old. The two were controlled by the Provincial Police, which has jurisdiction over hunting abuses, in November 2019 in a hunting area of the same. Cesenatico area. At the check, in particular, it was revealed that the two had used amplified acoustic calls and had knocked down a specimen of oriental collared dove, an unhuntable species.
The judge did not consider the crime to exist for the use of recalls and above all he considered the killing of the protected specimen to be of special tenuousness, thus accepting the defense thesis of the lawyer Francesco Minutillo. The prosecutor had asked for a fine of 800 euros each (Cesena Today).
