Siblings Arrested After Verona Farm Eviction Blast Kills Three Carabinieri

The blast erupted during a court-ordered clearance of a property long marked by threats over mounting debts.

Overview

  • Investigators recovered multiple gas canisters and incendiary materials inside the farmhouse, supporting findings of a deliberately prepared explosion.
  • The fallen officers were identified as Marco Piffari, Davide Bernardello and Valerio Daprà from special intervention units.
  • More than a dozen members of the forces of order and emergency services were injured as the two‑story building collapsed and the blast was heard kilometers away.
  • Prosecutors in Verona have opened an investigation for massacre and malicious act, with forensic teams processing the scene and evidence.
