I attacked Berlusconi because he's ruining Italy, says Milan attacker | Massimo Tartaglia, the 42-year-old man who attacked Silvio Berlusconi at a rally in Milan, believed the Prime Minister was ruining Italy. The electronics engineer, who has
been kept in solitary confinement after punching the premiere with a marble and
metal souvenir, told police that he hated the Prime Minister because "that man
is ruining Italy. I don't agree with anything he says", reports The Times. He
further told cops that he had decided to leave the cathedral square "but I heard
people shouting, so I went back again. I turned into a narrow side street, I turned
round and I saw him just a few steps away from me. He was coming through the barriers.
"I had a rush of blood to the head. At that point I just wanted to hit him with
all my strength. I wanted to make my protest too". He added: "I did it all by
myself. I am no one's hitman." In a letter sent to Berlusconi from his jail cell,
Tartaglia expressed "heartfelt regret for a superficial, cowardly and rash act
in which he did not recognize himself," his lawyers said. |
