Jeweller probed for killing robber (2)

Investigators had said he acted in self-defence

Rodolfo Corazzo, the jeweller who killed an Albanian robber in his home near Milan Tuesday night, has been formally placed under investigation for using excessive force in self-defence, judicial sources said Friday. They said it was a "due act", or technicality. Investigators said earlier this week they believed Corazzo acted "within the realm of self-defence".
    The dead man, 36-year-old Albanian Valentin Frrokaj, was a fugitive murder convict and considered extremely dangerous.
    He was part of a gang of three that attacked Corazzo outside his home in Rodano and forced him to open the door, according to initial reconstructions.
    "I did it all to defend my family, my daughter, my wife," a clearly shaken Corazzo told reporters in the office of his lawyer on Wednesday.
    "I did not intend to kill but to send them packing.
    "Thank God I had a weapon on me. If I had not been armed, I'm certain they would have killed us".
    The two other bandits are on the run and a manhunt is on for them throughout northern Italy.
    They could be armed as one of the guns that Corazzo owns, and has permits for, a Smith&Wesson 357 Magnum, is missing.
    Colazzo said the three spoke Italian with foreign accents.
    Frrokaj was sentenced to life in prison for stabbing to death a fellow Albanian in July 2007 in Brescia.
    He escaped with a compatriot from prison in Parma in February 2013, but was tracked down by Carabinieri, packing a loaded Beretta gun, in August that year.
    He made a second prison break from a jail in Palermo in May 2014 - reportedly using the traditional method of cutting through the bars and tying sheets into a rope to climb down from the cell.
    The gang he was part of is said to have hit Corazzo from behind, forced him to shut down his two-storey home's closed-circuit video system and let them in.
    A shootout is thought to have taken place after Corazzo fired into the air in an attempt to scare the robbers away.
    Frrokaj was hit and is thought to have died immediately.
    "I'd given them everything," Corazzo said.
    "I didn't have anything in the house but they insisted, threatening me and they even tried to intimidate my 11-year-old daughter, taking her upstairs and saying they'd cut off her finger if I didn't say where the money was.
    "They kept us there, threatening us with guns, for an hour and a half.
    "They fired six shots with a gun that I had in the safe.
    "I fired only three. The first two didn't hit anything.
    The third hit one of them, but I didn't aim".
