Poaching: Yesterday afternoon, the Carabinieri of the Compagnia di Montella intervened because a thirty-year-old from Volturara, "while walking in the woods" (so he reported), had been drawn by "stray buckshot" probably fired by hunters who were making a joke hunting prohibited in the Parco dei Monti Picentini.
For the injuries he suffered he was admitted to the Emergency Department of Avellino and, immediately, transferred to Naples to the Vecchio Pellegrini Hospital and subjected to a delicate surgery on his left arm. The immediate and uninterrupted investigations of the Volturara Station and of the Carabinieri of the Operational Unit of the Compagnia di Montella had left nothing out and had been developed at 360 degrees, also taking into consideration the hypothesis of an attempted murder. The most accredited, however, from the first moment, seemed to be that of a hunting accident in which the injured person would also participate. Also comforted by some information points deriving from the in-depth knowledge of the territory and local realities, the Carabinieri had identified the place of the accident, carrying out a careful inspection and seizing, in correspondence with the traces of blood found, some unexploded cartridges and the insulating tape probably used to set up illegal traps.
Thanks to the profitable info-operational activity, moreover, during the night, they identified the four people who had participated in the poaching, including the wounded one and ascertained the dynamics: the thirty-year-old, while he was trying with the other improvised hunters to kill some wild boar in the protected area, he slipped and a shot went off from his rifle that wounded him in the left arm.
Therefore, having ascertained the "poaching" activity, all the hunters were reported in a state of freedom for having exercised the hunting activity in a protected area, outside the schedule, on the pre-established days and in the absence of the necessary authorization and were the weapons they legally held were confiscated from them.
In addition, the wife of one of the poachers got into trouble who, together with her spouse, declared falsehood to avoid ascertaining the facts. For this reason both were reported for "aiding and abetting".
