There is a silence on the investigation, but the belief seems to be gaining ground that the lone attacker who went into action in front of the municipality of Ottana on the night between Friday and Saturday is a professional. The video is being studied in depth, but the type of explosive used also suggests this hypothesis. Someone came from outside, a thesis shared by all the people of Ottona.

«I repeat it once again: I had no warning, what happened was a bolt from the blue in a quiet period for Ottana», reiterated the mayor, «the hope is that the police, with the input of the prefect, will be able to trace the authors as soon as possible". The investigators are not leaving out any leads, but there is one on which they are focusing their investigations , linked to the energy community that the municipality is building.

The prefect of Nuoro has announced a maxi committee, by Easter, to which the 100 mayors of the old province of Nuoro will be invited. For Giancarlo Dionisi it will be "a moment of reflection so that, together, we can address these problems and avoid any element of disturbance to public order in the area".
