Tests have found the prints of three
people on the gun owned by Italian MP Emanuele Pozzolo from
which a shot was fired that injured a man at a party on New
Year's Eve, according to a report by crime-scene investigators
sent to prosecutors in Biella.
Pozzolo is under investigation over the accidental shooting in
the town of Rosazza and has been suspended from Premier Giorgia
Meloni's Brothers of Italy (FdI) party.
He says that, although he owns the gun, it was not him who fired
it.
A gunshot residue test has found traces of gunpowder on
Pozzolo's hands and clothes.
One of the prints on the gun belongs to Pozzolo' and another is
that of Pablito Morello, the bodyguard of Justice Undersecretary
Andrea Delmastro, who handled the weapon to make it safe after
the shooting.
The DNA of the third person has not yet been identified.
