Foreign Minister Angelino Alfano
on Wednesday phoned Spanish counterpart Alfonso Dastis to stress
the importance of punishing all those responsible for the fatal
beating in a Lloret de Mar disco of 22-year-old Italian Niccolò
Ciatti, saying Italian public opinion had been "dismayed" by the
release of two of the three Chechens initially arrested.
Alfano said "Italy is deeply pained and dismayed by what
happened at Lloret de Mar", where Ciatti was allegedly beaten by
the three France-based Chechens before one, a professional
wrestler, delivered a fatal kick to the head.
Italy has voiced disappointment that no one, including the
disco's bouncers, intervened to stop the beating, which was
captured on CCTV.
Ciatti, from Scandicci near Florence, was in the Spanish
resort with his family.
Scandicci will hold a candle-lit vigil for him tonight.
