Tired of being bullied by bullies, a 17-year-old boy decided to recruit three young men just older than him to act as his bodyguards. And he would have paid them handsomely, for an amount - under investigation - of between 20 thousand and even 100 thousand euros.

The story comes from Vicenza and is obviously causing a sensation. According to reports from the Venetian press, the boy - who is defined as “fragile” - paid a salary for some twenty-year-olds for months, allowing himself to be protected and accompanied on their journeys, to avoid being targeted by other young people.

The bodyguards, however, would soon take advantage of the fragility of the 17-year-old, forcing him in exchange for their "protection" to pay large sums. A sort of "lace", extorted in bad faith.

When the parents of the harassed teenager noticed the shortfall, the complaint was made to the carabinieri, who opened an investigation.

The three bodyguards thus ended up in trouble: the trio was in fact indicted by the judge for circumvention of incapacity.
