Overview
- The Tribunale di Biella found Emanuele Pozzolo guilty of illegal carriage of a collector-licensed firearm and acquitted him on the ammunition charge, stating that the alleged offense did not exist.
- The sentence is one year and three months with conditional suspension, after prosecutors requested one year and six months and a €3,000 fine.
- The case stems from New Year’s Eve 2024 in Rosazza, where a round from Pozzolo’s North American Arms mini-revolver wounded Luca Campana during a party.
- Who pulled the trigger was not determined in court; evidence cited in the trial included a positive gunshot-residue test for Pozzolo and conflicting witness accounts.
- Pozzolo, expelled from Fratelli d’Italia and now in the mixed group, said he will appeal, and reports say the court ordered confiscation of the mini-revolver.
