(ANSA) - Rome, August 14 - A 22-year-old Italian man died in
a fight in a Spanish disco at the weekend.
Niccolò Ciatti from Scandicci near Florence was allegedly
attacked by three Russian men who are now under investigation on
suspicion of murder.
The incident took place in the Costa Brava resort of Lloret
de Mar.
A video of the fight is being examined by police, sources
said Monday.
The three Russians are said to be from Chechnya.
"He was my gentle giant," said Ciatti's girlfriend Ilaria on
Instagram.
His father, Luigi, said "my son was killed by beasts".
"He was killed like a bag of potatoes, I can't even say like
a dog because not even a dog deserves to die like that," said
Luigi Ciatti.
"And they all just stood by and watched it happen," he said.
Scandicci Mayor Sandro Fallani said the government was
following the case.
