Summary

Italian politician Andrea Zanoni has reported Donald Trump Jr to authorities for allegedly shooting a protected ruddy shelduck while hunting in Venice Lagoon.

A video from Trump Jr’s publication, Field Ethos, reportedly shows him with the rare bird among other dead ducks.

The species is protected under EU and Italian laws, making its killing a potential crime. Zanoni has called for sanctions, including suspending hunting licenses.

Regional officials have yet to respond. The incident occurred in a conservation area south of Venice.

      I think the witness did not see the crime when it occurred, so it was not possible to arrest on the spot. The suspect has likely fled the country, so there will be a longer court process before a warrant can be issued.

        Warrant will be issued and promptly ignored. Dear Leaders family is immune from prosecution unless the donvict decides they’ve been disloyal to him.
