I open funds are a cause of constant friction between hunters and farmers. And in some cases they can lead to lengthy judicial, criminal and administrative issues. Two hunters, defended by the lawyer Elodia Mirti, for example, ended up on trial for threats, with the aggravating circumstance of having foreseen certain damage showing the case of a rifle. Threats that the two hunters would have uttered against a farmer who had glimpsed them making one hunting trip in its open bottom.
From what emerged in the hearing, the facts date back to 2014, between the three subjects involved in the proceedings, there had already been disputes, precisely because of the passage in the ground. On the occasion that then generated the trial, however, it would have been the two hunters a stop the cultivator who was passing by with his car and showing the case, empty, of the rifle, threatening it: "Here is a black mouth, watch out". Sentence that had cost the imputation for aggravated threat and confiscation of the two hunters' guns.
Now 7 years after the facts, the trial has been routed in the protocol of the Criminal Court of Perugia for those now prescribed. AND the two hunters await the declaration of the statute of limitations (the party lawsuit had been withdrawn, even if the offense can be prosecuted ex officio) in order to unblock the administrative procedure for the return of the rifles and to be able to go back hunting (Perugia Today).
