(ANSA) - Lucca, April 19 - Three students, all minors, have
been officially placed under criminal investigation by police in
the Tuscan city of Lucca for allegedly bullying one of their
teachers after a video in which the teens appeared to threaten
and insult him went viral.
The headmaster of the technical institute 'Carrara' where the
incident took place is scheduled to file a lawsuit on Thursday
following the police probe, investigators said.
The video in particular shows one of the students threatening
the 64-year-old Italian and history professor if he did not give
him a pass-grade, insulting the man and asking him to kneel in
front of him as other students are heard laughing in the
background.
It is the latest in a series of alarming episodes in which
teachers have been threatened, insulted or attacked by parents
or pupils in Italy.
