Several knives were allegedly found and seized at the home of 21-year-old Eithan Bondì, who is accused of firing several shots with a softair, a compressed air gun, at two members of the ANPI on 25 April in Rome's Parco Schuster. The weapon was reportedly not found, but the young man admitted his responsibility. During the night, the Digos of the Rome Police Headquarters stopped him.

The young man was allegedly identified by the number plate of the scooter from which he fired the shots with a soft air gun. The young man detained claimed to belong to the Jewish Brigade.

The shots hit two 60-year-old ANPI militants, a man and a woman, who were not seriously injured.

The arrest was ordered directly by the Chief Prosecutor of Rome, Francesco Lo Voi. The investigation is coordinated by the Capital's anti-terrorism prosecutors. The young man is allegedly a member of the Jewish community. The charge is attempted murder. The charges also include the crime of possession of weapons.

Jewish Brigade: young man stopped is not one of our members

The Jewish Brigade referring to the detention of Eithan Bondì for the 25 April shooting in Rome 'strongly reiterates that it does not know him, does not have among its members any person answering to this name. It also emphasises that it has no representatives or members in the city of Rome'. This was clarified in a note by Davide Romano, director of the Museum of the Jewish Brigade in Milan, 'We also reserve the right to take legal action against all those who use and will use the name of the Jewish Brigade to associate it with this shameful act,' he concludes. 'Violence has never been part of our values and will never represent them

Jewish Community Rome: shock and outrage at 21-year-old's arrest

"The arrest of a young man registered with the Jewish Community of Rome for the events of 25 April fills us with dismay and indignation. The Jewish Community of Rome unreservedly condemns and dissociates itself from any form of anti-democratic violence. We express our full solidarity and closeness with the injured, Rossana Gabrieli and Nicola Fasciano'. This was stated by Victor Fadlun, president of the Jewish community of Rome. "We express our confidence in the work of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the police so that full light can be shed on the dynamics of the events and on any responsibility. In such a tense phase, we appeal to the political forces and civil society to avoid any instrumentalisation that could fuel hatred and generate new violence," he concludes.

Anpi: "Extremist drift by Jewish community exponents for some time now"

"The extreme gravity of the matter cannot escape anyone's notice. For some time we have been witnessing an extremist and intimidating drift on the part of some exponents of the Jewish Community of Rome'. Thus the ANPI in a note. "In the past, several times ANPI national leaders have received threats and intimidating letters from the GSE (Youth Zionist Group) and other acronyms. But if you go from words to guns everything changes'. The ANPI asks 'the judiciary not only to ascertain the existence of possible instigators of the armed attack that took place in Rome, but also to open an investigation into these alleged paramilitary groups present in the Roman Jewish Community'.
