Wounded in the leg by a bullet fired from the gun of a member of the Brothers of Italy, Emanuele Pozzolo.

It happened at a New Year's party in Rosazza, in the Biella area: the injured person is the son-in-law of a man from the escort of the undersecretary of Justice Andrea Delmastro, brother of the town's mayor, Francesca Delmastro.

The conditions of the injured man, 31 years old, are not serious and he has already been discharged from hospital. But an investigation was opened into the matter coordinated by the Biella prosecutor's office.

The undersecretary attended the party with his escort and some family members, including the husband of the daughter of a penitentiary officer, who escorted Delmastro after the Cospito case. Deputy Pozzolo, who has a house in the village and was celebrating with his family, did not attend the dinner. But at a certain time Pozzolo stopped by to say goodbye, when the party was almost over. The deputy, who has a weapons licence, had a small pistol with him and a shot was fired.

"I confirm that the gunshot - regularly held by me - which injured one of the party participants was fired accidentally, but it was not me who fired": this is Pozzolo's statement.
