The carabinieri of the Compagnia di Tempio Pausania who investigate the fire that destroyed the car of the mayor of Luras Mauro Azzena are now certain that it was an intimidating attack.

In fact, near the car, which was parked near the home of the mayor, traces of diavolina were found , that is the cubes usually based on kerosene and other flammable substances normally used to light wood in fireplaces and barbecues.

The little devil would have been placed in correspondence with the rear wheel tire which is on the side of the tank. The flames would then be ignited in a few moments . "It was almost 3 am, I was still awake, I heard noises in the street and then like an explosion - says the mayor of Luras - I saw the flames that had already enveloped the back of the car. fire and with my wife and son we tried to put out the fire. "

As for the reasons for the intimidation, “I don't know what to think - says Azzena - Never received hostile messages, threats, neither now nor in the past . I was elected mayor last year, in the previous administration I was deputy mayor and before that, alderman. This new council and the new council are composed for the most part of young people, we are working peacefully and we have never had problems. I really don't know how to explain this gesture. "
