Arzano, journalist Domenico Rubio attacked in the street

Arzano. Attacked on the street while walking: the local carabinieri are investigating the episode. The journalist Domenico Rubio, who was already under protection for his journalistic investigations, was attacked this morning. The episode occurred in the presence of several witnesses in via Napoli when a young woman in her forties approached him and slapped him, subsequently uttering threatening words. The investigations were activated immediately and there could be sensational developments in the short term. The investigative activities are supported by the commander of the Casoria Company, the investigative unit of Castello di Cisterna and the Provincial Command. “The journalist Mimmo Rubio, already the victim of attacks by the Camorra, was attacked by the son of the former mayor of the Municipality of Arzano, dissolved for Camorra also after the complaints of Rubio himself and his colleague Giuseppe Bianco. Rubio was in via Napoli for a story to be published on the Arzanonews website, when he was approached, threatened and slapped by the attacker. Tomorrow the secretary general of the Fnsi, Raffaele Lorusso, will meet the Minister of the Interior, as part of the coordination for the safety of journalists, to whom he will submit the case. In Campania, where there are five journalists under armed escort, there is a real emergency for information. The solidarity and support of the Journalists' Union goes to colleague Rubio, who is ready to support him in any venue". This is what the Fnsi, the Sugc and the Unci Campania state in a note. (as)
