Angelo Simionato, the 22-year-old from the province of Grosseto, was arrested by the Digos (Italian Special Operations Division) on suspicion of taking part in the attack on a police officer on January 31st in Turin after the Pro Askatasuna march.

The decision was made by a preliminary investigations judge following the validation hearing, where the young man gave statements. Based on the evidence, there is evidence against the 22-year-old regarding his involvement.

The other two arrested, Matteo Campaner and Pietro Desideri, who had been arrested for resisting a public official, were released from prison with a sign.

What happened in Turin on January 31st – writes investigating judge Irene Giani – was a true "urban guerrilla warfare" preceded by an "evidently pre-planned and organized" action by a fringe of pro-Askatasuna protesters.

The judge also mentioned the "brutal attack" suffered by a RAI crew.

"Already at liberty. Shame. Voting YES in the Justice referendum is a moral duty," commented Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini.
