Overview
- The brothers were lured from a parish park into a nearby soy field, where a group of nine minors and one adult allegedly detained, robbed, stripped and beat them over several hours.
- Attackers recorded parts of the abuse on a cellphone and the video was circulated in chat groups before the victims’ mother received a copy and the family filed a formal complaint.
- Authorities say investigators from the Carabinieri’s Conegliano company have acquired the video and chat messages and are collecting testimony from the victims, their parents and the adult present.
- The family reports theft of a backpack, a phone and about €20 and says one bicycle wheel was broken, and they describe ongoing psychological trauma and are considering leaving the town.
- The case highlights how filmed violence among known peers can spread digitally and both amplify harm and provide direct evidence, prompting scrutiny of local supervision and how schools, parishes and police respond.
