A 20-year-old young man from Olbia is under investigation (together with three other boys, in competition) for injuries with the aggravating circumstance of racial hatred. The boy, according to the accusations of the Tempio prosecutor, Alessandro Bosco, last week used a compressed air rifle to hit a 37-year-old man , a Gambian waiter who was crossing a street in Golfo Aranci on his bicycle.

According to the Tempio Prosecutor's Office, the alleged perpetrator of the gesture, together with his friends, lurked in a window of a building and chose his target, with the victim who was hit solely and exclusively because of the color of his skin.

According to investigations by the Carabinieri of the Territorial Department of Olbia, the person responsible for the episode did not know the victim and the Gambian was injured (fortunately the consequences were not serious) without a motive other than a racial one.

The Prosecutor's Office also contests the killing of animals, because the person reported used the rifle to hit birds.

The defender of the boy under investigation, the lawyer Giancarlo Frongia, has not made any statements while waiting to know the documents.
