"The owner of the residence was attacked. He has a deep wound on his face, cracked dentures and a wound on his mouth and palate. He is a mild person."

The lawyers Paolo Grillo and Aldo Ruffino say so, who assist the owner of the camping-residence.

"From what we have ascertained - they add - it seems that the attackers of our client did not intend to pay for the rent of the room after the holiday. The owner asked that they give him what was agreed and he would have received a punch in the face. Fearing for his life defended himself with the gun he had regularly denounced. Our client only defended himself ".
