25 April shooting, Bondì under house arrest: 'I am ashamed, I have no links to the Jewish Brigade'

Eitan Bondì, the 21-year-old arrested and accused of firing a few shots with a softair, a compressed air pistol, at two Anpi members last 25 April in Rome, at Parco Schuster, is under house arrest.

This was decided by the Preliminary Investigation Judge at the end of the validation hearing, who reduced the charge from attempted double murder to attempted multiple injuries also aggravated by premeditation.

During his spontaneous statements to the gip, Bondì said he took responsibility 'for this deplorable gesture' and was 'ashamed of what he had done'. 'I express solidarity with the injured people and those who felt offended by my gesture,' the boy added, as reported by his defence lawyers Cesare Gai and Gianluca Tognozzi.

Bondì also specified that he had 'no connection with the Jewish Brigade'. Days ago, the Brigade itself reiterated 'emphatically that it does not know him and does not have among its members any person who answers to this name. It also stresses that it has no representative or member in the city of Rome'. The boy, before the gip, confirmed that 'there are no political or ideological motives behind my gesture'.
