«I'm stunned. I told him to come, but I never imagined he was carrying a gun. And then he could have gone to twenty thousand places and instead he came right there... If I had imagined it I would have told him not to come."

Thus, in an interview with Repubblica, undersecretary Andrea Delmastro , regarding the case of the shot fired from the gun of FdI deputy Emanuele Pozzolo at the New Year's Eve party which injured the son-in-law of a man from the escort .

"I didn't notice anything," Delmastro further explains in an interview with Corriere della Sera. «It was after one, the party was over - he says -. I went out to load the car, I was 300 meters away, in the square. When I returned I heard my agent's wife screaming . Then they told me that a gunshot had gone off."

And when asked if he met the Honorable Pozzolo after the accident, Delmastro replies: «No, not yet. I will also want to hear what happened from its reconstruction. Those who were present told me that he had taken out the weapon, a gun the size of a lighter, to show it . Then the shot went off, accidentally ."

Information from the police on the case is expected in the next few hours.

In the meantime , MP Emanuele Pozzolo has resorted to parliamentary immunity by refusing to undergo the stub test , including his clothes, to check whether he had traces of gunpowder on him. The shot that wounded the leg of a 31-year-old son-in-law of a man from Undersecretary Andrea Delmastro's escort present at the party apparently came from the Fdi deputy's mini gun.

Pozzolo stated that he did not shoot . The deputy was already interviewed by the police immediately after the incident for several hours.
