In Sangineto, Calabria, 34-year-old Antonio Perrotta died following a violent assault outside the Il Castello nightclub. The incident, occurring between August 8 and August 9, began as a dispute inside the venue and escalated after Perrotta exited, where he was confronted and beaten by a group of individuals.

Perrotta, a father of four, succumbed to injuries including a skull base fracture and an acute epidural hematoma following surgery on August 10. While management at Il Castello maintains that surveillance footage shows no violence occurred inside the venue or its courtyard, and denied Perrotta was an employee, investigators suggest the altercation began when the suspects attempted to enter without tickets. Perrotta, who was reportedly working as a security guard to supplement his income, is believed to have intervened, leading to the confrontation.

Authorities have detained two brothers, Umberto Orsino (24), a physiotherapist, and Domenico Orsino (22), a professional rugby player for the Luxembourg national team. Originally from Calabria but residing in Luxembourg, the brothers were reportedly prepared to flee the country when apprehended. However, their defense attorney has since stated they are “deeply distressed” and intend to return to Luxembourg once legal proceedings clarify the situation.

Investigators from the Paola Prosecutor's Office are investigating the brothers for complicity in aggravated murder, citing “futile and vile motives.” The prosecution’s case includes surveillance footage and blood traces found on the brothers' clothing. The nightclub's license has been suspended for 15 days.
