In the continuation of the event, meticulously reconstructed from the images of private video surveillance cameras, immediately acquired by the operators, from the videos, made by some private citizens and "posted" on the social network Tik Tok, who had witnessed the event from their homes, and from the testimonies given by other subjects, able to report the facts, it was ascertained that the policeman, first beaten only by Francesco Chimirri and his son, had subsequently been joined by their other three family members, recipients of today's provision, who continued their action, in various phases, causing him very serious injuries, which, only by a mere fortuitous and accidental case, did not lead to his death, as well as, one of them, taking up his gun, with which he had shortly before fatally hit one of the attackers, Francesco Chimirri, and attempting to shoot him, when he was on the ground and on his knees.

The identification of the recipients of today's provision occurred, first, thanks to the timeliness of the intervention on site and the immediate acquisition of the most important sources of video evidence, being subsequently corroborated and enriched by the contextual meticulous work of both photographic comparison and reconstruction of the facts to the second, also through telephone interceptions of the suspects., carried out by the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of the dependent Operations Department, who documented the exact dynamics of the incident, establishing how, from the beginning of the fight, provoked by two of the alleged perpetrators, the Deputy Inspector had identified himself as a member of the Police Force and they, despite this, had continued in their action, even attempting to kill him and irreparably damaging his mobile phone, from which, however, with the help of a technical consultant, appointed by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Crotone, essential sources of evidence were recovered.
