A fifth CasaPound activist on Friday
was identified by police as a suspected participant in the
attack on La Stampa journalist Andrea Joly outside a Turin pub
frequented by far-right militants last Saturday.
Turin flying squad officials early on Friday searched the home
in the nearby town of Chivasso of the 33-year-old man, who
doesn't have a police record.
Investigators coordinated by prosecutor Paolo Scafi believe the
man could have attacked Joly outside the Asso di Bastoni club
frequented by CasaPound militants.
So far, five people have been identified by police in connection
with the attack, which took place as Joly was documenting the
celebration of the 16th anniversary of the CasaPound club.
The five suspects are accused of causing bodily harm, aggravated
by futile motives, by the number of people who committed the
attack and by acting to commit private violence, investigative
sources said.
