Canceled, from court of review of Perugia, the seizure validation decree issued by the public prosecutor on 2 September against three Mayionese pensioners caught in a car with poaching equipment. It all started with a control by the forest police of Passignano on the eve of the first day of pre-opening of the hunt to ensure that hunters comply with the rules. It is still night when the three men are stopped in the Trasimeno area during a targeted service against poaching just in view of the opening of the season. Thinking, perhaps, of grab the "best" game before the competition, they were noticed by the military in a car, near the regional park.
One of them would have worn a thermal visor, triggering more in-depth checks on them. The unmistakable equipment made up of a rifle with precision optics, a silencer, numerous bullets, a high-powered flashlight with attachment applicable to the weapon, a knife and various equipment for the transport of killed animals. Everything seized, including the car used, according to investigators, for the poaching activity.
Last Tuesday, however, the decision of the judges of the review court (composed of the president Giuseppe Narducci and the magistrates Emma Avella and Alberto Avenoso) called into question the first reconstruction of the investigators, accepting the appeal of the defense (lawyer Maurizio Lorenzini), revoking the seizure and ordering the restitution of the assets owned by the three hunters, with the exception of ammunition found in more than those permitted by law. The defendant of the suspects had contested the existence of the fumus of all the crimes charged to the three suspects, having recourse to the court of freedom to obtain the return of the objects seized during the check. According to the judges, the provision was null and void "Absolute deficiency" the motivation on the probability of actual committing of the crime (The nation).
