The right-wing Turin club outside
which Italian journalist Andrea Joly was alleged attacked
overnight said Sunday that the reporter started the brawl by
pushing its members.
"They (the club members) saw a person who was taking photos and
videos and, when they asked him who he was, he did not identify
himself as a journalist but, on the contrary, shoved some lads,
causing a row," said the 'Asso di Bastoni' club.
"Why would our members 'assault' a journalist when they have
always been invited and welcomed (to our events), and we have
always accepted reports by any news outlet".
