A firefighter attacked by three bodyguards at Red Valley. This is also in the balance of the final evening of the event, in Olbia, on August 17. According to the reconstruction, the team leader, during his fire surveillance duty, reported to a member of an artist's staff not to hang around in the escape route for safety reasons. That was enough to heat things up, with three men from the artist's personal security, who allegedly grabbed him and threw him to the ground.
The 3 were immediately stopped by the police, identified and reported for injuries and contempt of a public official. The response of the Provincial Commander of the Fire Department of Sassari Antonio Giordano, who arrived on the scene, was harsh.
"What happened yesterday evening to the detriment of the colleague - explains Giordano - is unacceptable and cannot be justified. Thanks to the collaboration with the State Police, all measures will be taken following the complaints filed immediately to protect the colleague and out of respect for the work of all Firefighters. I express full solidarity with the colleague who fortunately did not suffer serious consequences, and on behalf of all Firefighters I thank those who immediately took action to rescue the colleague and identify the attackers. I hope that episodes of this kind will not happen again in the future".
