A video recently published on social networks and on specialized platforms has turned on the controversy in Italy and beyond Ocean. The movie, which appeared on the US website Field Ethos – The Global Hunt for Adventureshow Donald Trump Jr.son of the current President of the United States, engaged in one Hunting joke in the Venetian countryside.

In particular, the images seem to have been shot in the Piestori Valley, in Campagna Lupia, an area of ​​the Venice Lagoon subjected to environmental protection. In the filming you can see hunters with the calls for the ducks around the neck, while they converge in a guest house before the joke.

Zanoni also announced a possible exposed to the judiciary.

The Italian Parliament was also invested by the question: the deputy Luana Zanella (AVS) asked An intervention by the Minister of the EnvironmentGilberto Pichetto Fratin, asking for clarifications on what happened to understand if Trump Jr. really participated in this illegal hunting joke.

Monica Sambo, municipal councilor of the Democratic Party in Venice, was expressed on the same line, who made it known that if the accusations are confirmed, Trump Jr. will have to be pursued like any other citizen for violating Italian laws.
