Last Updated: November 30, 2023

The Carabinieri of the Biancavilla station have reported 4 young people accused of being responsible for a violent brawl that broke out in the center of the town. The triggering cause was a comment on the bright color of a baseball cap made by a 17-year-old foreigner and his friend while walking with their respective friends in the central Via Vittorio Emanuele. The joke quickly turned into insults and then a brawl with kicks and punches, involving not only the two seventeen-year-olds but also their adult friends. Passersby called the Carabinieri, but when they arrived, the participants had already fled. In less than 48 hours, the investigators identified and summoned them to the barracks, where they admitted their responsibilities and explained the absolutely trivial motivations behind the incident. Among the participants was also a 22-year-old foreigner who had already been reported by the military in November 2022 for taking part in another brawl involving the parents of an 18-year-old who opposed their relationship, for which he was subjected to urban Daspo. For these reasons, he was reported for participating in the brawl and for violating the prescription imposed by the urban Daspo of not lingering near establishments for food and drinks.
