Rome, Oct. 14 (LaPresse) – "The dynamics leave us stunned," said Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi during a press conference at the general command of the Carabinieri in Rome following the explosion at the farmhouse in Castel d’Azzano, in the Verona area. "It was unimaginable that there could be such a level of aggressiveness, of which the poor three carabinieri were victims." "This eviction order had to be carried out, for which, as I mentioned, there was also a court order. There had already been attempts in the past, and it had somehow become clear that we were dealing with people who would in some way resist, but," he explained, "it seems there had even been an intervention of mediation. The Carabinieri had sent expert mediators to speak with the occupants, and there had been contact that seemed likely to result in a peaceful, amicable resolution. So, apparently, there was a truly treacherous act, almost premeditated. However, these are just initial reconstructions, and it is right that the investigators do their work."
