A man who shot and wounded
one of four Romanian thieves who came onto his land near
Grosseto Monday was released from custody Thursday.
Bruno Poeti, a 64-year-old former policeman, was accused of
attempted murder but a preliminary investigations judge did not
uphold the arrest warrant.
Three of the thieves are being held for aggravated theft
while the fourth is under guard in a hospital.
Poeti allegedly shot at the four Romanians with a 7.65mm
caliber semiautomatic pistol after they broke in to his property
and tried to drive off in his car, wounding one.
Ion Nicolai Farcas, 39, is hospitalized.
The incident occurred in the small seaside town of Marina
di Grosseto in southern Tuscany.
