The Public Prosecutor's Office of Verona is evaluating the request for a precautionary measure for the 39-year-old worker who ran over with his car and abandoned, leaving him to die, Chris Obeng Abon, 13, in the municipality of Negrar in Verona.

«The motorist could not be arrested, there was no flagrante delicto. If the arrest had been made, it would have been illegal. At most you could evaluate the detention of pg. But, 99% of it, even this would not have been validated», Verona's deputy prosecutor Bruno Bruni told ANSA, replying to the controversies. "The carabinieri - he added - assessed that there was no danger of escape. Of course, he had moved away from the scene of the accident, but he had returned home, he had not escaped ».

The morning after the tragedy, the 39-year-old was at work as if nothing had happened, despite the car being dented and covered in blood. He told the carabinieri "I thought I had hit a post in the road" . Unreliable words for the military given the damage to the car, a Renault Expace.

Furthermore, the videos of the surveillance cameras of the municipality of Valpolicella that film the man on his way to work driving the car with half a smashed windshield and other damage to the bonnet, almost certainly caused by the boy's investment, are irrefutable.

After the seizure of the driver's license and that of the car, the man is charged with the crimes of road homicide, failure to rescue and escape.

According to the doctors, the very young, esteemed promise of football with Polisportiva Negrar could have been saved if he had been rescued promptly. Instead he died in hospital from hypoxia, after being slumped to the ground for at least an hour before emergency services were alerted .

The parents, of Ghanaian origin and resident in the Verona area for about twenty years, await the clearance from the Judicial Authority for the return of the body and thus be able to celebrate their son's funeral.
