Fan injured at the Turin derby, policeman under investigation can return to work

The policeman investigated for aggravated injuries in relation to the wounding of Marco Basoccu, a Juventus supporter who was allegedly hit by a tear gas canister during the clashes before the derby against Torino on May 24th, will be able to return to work. This was decided by the Turin Court of Review, which revoked the precautionary measure of suspension from service for one year.

The judges partially accepted the request of the agent's defenders, the lawyers Paolo Chicco and Lucetta Gai, while rejecting that of the Prosecutor's Office, which had requested an aggravation of the precautionary measure with house arrest.

According to what emerged, the policeman will be able to resume service in the offices, with administrative duties, as he himself had requested.

The investigation, coordinated by the deputy prosecutor Paolo Scafi, continues: in recent weeks an evidentiary hearing was arranged to analyze the hat seized from Basoccu and verify the possible presence of traces of gas. The policeman's defense also requested new investigations into the ultra's head wound, to establish whether it is compatible with the impact of a tear gas canister fired at eye level, and the examination of the bullet recovered near the fan.

The results are expected in the coming weeks.

Last October 6, due to the May clashes, the Digos had carried out twenty-two precautionary measures with a residence ban and the obligation to report to the judicial police. There were around forty Daspo measures for the Granata and Bianconeri ultras.
