Anyone who, as a witness, would have to admit their own criminal acts can refuse to testify. The judges believe that, according to the files, this is exactly what the three injured men are entitled to. Because Oliviero “Toni” V. invokes self-defense.

A witness (30) who only knows him as “Italian” was there at the time. “A guy in a leather jacket said to the Italian: Come out, now you’ll get another bullet as a punishment! The Italian was pale. Then shots rang out. The Italian shot. “
