I hunters there are not to undergo i check out of the rules of the legal system and for this reason a dozen of them gave a mandate to the lawyer Alberto Scapaticci to proceed with the Prosecutor against the agents of the forest carabinieri who have violated the rules dictated by the legislator. "None of the hunting associations I represent want to exempt themselves from controls, but these must be carried out in compliance with the rules and without trampling freedom and dignity of people". The lawyer Alberto Scapaticci yesterday faced the case of the many hunters with Marco Bruni, president of Federcaccia and Eugenio Casella, at the top of ACL subject to checks by the men of the Soarda (Anti-Poaching and Crimes in Damage to Animals Operational Section) of the forest police.
«Searches took place without a decree issued by the judiciary and without plausible exceptions and in defiance of a series of rules established by law, including the fact that the search can be assisted by a trusted person or by a lawyer. On the other hand, we have even seen soldiers who come to remove the cell phone from the searched and intimidate him". And again "with search activities carried out by up to 14 agents at the same time as if dealing with Camorra or terrorists and extended even beyond the premises of strict control and with acts that led us to report to the Prosecutor's Office cases of violence, beatings, injuries and more ».
The case concerns the Pettirosso anti-poaching operation which foresees black-spots inserted in the Bresciano National action plan to combat offenses against wild birds. In this context, the forest police carry out control of the territory, with the aim of reducing the number of protected birds killed or captured during migration. «But the disputed checks took place under the resumption of surveillance cameras and show very serious abuses to the detriment of the elderly, accused of mistreatment of animals or alteration of seals referring to the ring on the legs of birds ».
For this reason, the lawyer Scapaticci announces a resurgence in the positions taken. "Heard also the Prefecture on Wednesday, we will report all cases of illegitimate acts and abuses committed to the detriment of hunters with complaints to the Prosecutor's Office and this starting from the violated conditions for house searches ». Meanwhile, the cases reported by the associations multiply: "We will protect the 7 thousand warehouses in Brescia and invite them to don't be intimidated. We live in a state of law and not of the police "concludes the lawyer (Il Giornale di Brescia).
