Beat in Lainate, he wore the Kippah: identified some of the people of the aggression to the autogrill

Through the videos of the Lainate Service Area cameras on the lakes and plates readers and some of the people who attacked and insulted the 52 -year -old Elie Sultan, a French of Jewish religion who was with his son of six years, were identified on Sunday evening. Both wore the Kippah. The crime hypothesis is beatings aggravated by racial hatred And the file is open against unknown persons. The identified people would be those who took part in the first part of the attack, the verbal ones.

Digos looks for other witnesses because there are no cameras in the bathroom. The cleaning officer said he found himself “blocked by a wall of people who screamed, pushed”. It would be the people who tried to have the 52 -year -old erased the video shot as they insulted him. The man said he was hit “with kicks and punches” by about ten people.

There would have been two distinct groups that have moved away with different cars. They would live in the northern hinterland of Milan and would not be known as exponents of the Pro Palestine groups. There is a family of Middle Eastern origin composed of four people among identified.

These alleged attackers made their position known with a note released by the lawyer Federico Battistini: «My clients stopped at the autogrill returning from a holiday. A man who started to fix them insistently, perhaps because they spoke in Arabic, came. This individual turned his attention in particular to the women of the group, who wore pendants depicting the Palestinian map. The French gentleman turned to them saying “children of …” and “terrorists”. The boy limited himself to responding “Free Palestine”».

The lawyer said that he was a complaint against the 52 -year -old and that his clients reported injuries unlike the man who did not go to the emergency room. He added: “The people I sponsored are well aware of what it means to be discriminated against for religious, ethnic and racial reasons, and certainly do not intend to stain in the same crimes”.
