La Prosecutor of Florence has decided to open an investigation into Territorial Areas of Hunting as for some assignments and appraisals. In particular, irregularities have emerged regarding the compensation of damage caused by game, without forgetting the projects that the Florentine ATCs themselves have worked on (prevention activities above all). Just in the last few weeks there have been searches in the premises by the agents of the Provincial Police.
In this way it will be possible to understand if the behavior of the members of the management committees has been correct or not. The budgets that are being shed light on have a value of approximately two million euros a year. The revenues are mainly represented by regional and European funds, not to mention the fees paid by individual hunters. Each hunter has to pay 500 euros a year between taxes and various concessions, consequently it is necessary to investigate where this money has gone.
More than to the management committees of the Florentine ambits, however, we are looking at the people who have carried out external assignments, for sure in the coming weeks there will be greater clarity on this. The number of people investigated is not clear either, for now we can count at least two.
