Trump Jr. under fire: Alleged illegal duck hunt in Italy
Donald Trump Jr. may face serious issues following his visit to Italy. The son of the US President has been accused of shooting a protected species of duck. This accusation emerged due to a hunting video that appeared online. According to local activists, Trump Jr. was shooting ducks without a licence.
Andrea Zanoni, a councillor from the Veneto region in northern Italy, filed the report of a potential crime involving Donald Trump's son. The local politician and activist highlighted that only Italian citizens can acquire hunting licences in this country.
The problem arose when a video appeared online showing Donald Trump Jr. presenting hunted specimens near Valle Pierimpi' in Campagna Lupia, a private marshland in the Venetian Lagoon. Moreover, the President of the United States' son allegedly shot a protected species of duck.
A spokesperson for Trump Jr. completely denied the allegations, asserting that the President's son possesses all the necessary licences and can prove it.
Don and his group had all the proper permits and were hunting in a legally allowed area, where there were countless other hunting groups present - said Andy Surabian, as quoted the CNN.
Is the incriminating video of Donald Trump’s son being removed from the internet?
The video featuring Donald Trump Jr.'s "hunting trophies" appeared on the "Field Ethos" website. The American politician's son is a co-founder and publisher of the site.
The recording is disappearing from the Internet. The "Field Ethos" site has removed it, and it is also not available on YouTube. The portal said the creators removed it. What can be seen in the video?
It shows Donald Trump Jr. shooting at flying birds. At one point, the politician's son notices that one of the shot ducks is "unusual for this area." According to Trump Jr.'s spokesperson, it is unclear who in the hunting party shot the protected animal.
