Archiving rejected. Twist of the scene on the case of the animal rights activists who offended and threatened the parish priest of Torre Maina (fraction of the municipality of Maranello, Modena), Don Pierino Sacella, 'guilty' of being a hunter, going so far as to label him a 'murderer'. Yesterday the judge for preliminary investigations Malavasi asked for the compulsory formulation of the indictment by the prosecutor in charge of the file against the suspects, two animal rights activists accused of defamation, stalking and threats in competition. Consequently, the prosecutor will ask for indictment.
The latest blitz by protesters in front of the church, with protest signs, took place as part of the Christmas mass two years ago, but there were also offenses on social media. The investigating judge rejected the filing request proposed by the prosecutor, not agreeing with the accusation's argument that the presence of the suspects on the spot was not qualified by any concrete and detailed conduct.
The judge dissolved the reservation in favor of the request of the parish priest's lawyer, Luca Pastorelli, who had opposed the dismissal, and he pointed out that from the investigations of the Post it was possible to trace the suspects through nicknames. The same had posted offensive and threatening content and their presence would have been ascertained during the Christmas blitz. "If you are in the countryside you will not be protected by the walls of your church" had threatened (Il Resto del Carlino).
