It was Massimo Adriatici, lawyer, councilor for security of the Municipality of Voghera (Pavia), who fired the gunshot that last night, shortly after 10 pm, killed a 39-year-old man of Moroccan nationality.
The incident happened in Piazza Meardi in the Oltrepadana city.
Adriatici is now under house arrest.
118 operators immediately intervened on the spot and transported the injured person by ambulance to the emergency room of the local hospital.
Initially the man's conditions did not seem serious, then worsened until his death. The carabinieri are investigating the fact. From the first investigations conducted by the carabinieri, it seems that the commissioner Massimo Adriatici fired a gunshot towards the man of Moroccan origin after a dispute between the two, which took place in front of a bar. The injured was transported by ambulance to the emergency room of the hospital in Voghera (Pavia). His condition, which at first did not seem worrying, rapidly worsened until he died overnight. From what has been learned, Adriatici regularly held the pistol with which he fired. The lawyer is councilor for security in the center-right junta led by the mayor Paola Garlaschelli.
