Young man who posted video laughing at fatal crash leaves Italy

A young man who sparked widespread

outrage by posting a video on social media of himself laughing

after a fatal car crash in which he was involved released

another jokey video on Monday as he embarked on a flight,

apparently intent on leaving Italy.

The man was a passenger in a Fiat 500 that hit a scooter in the

Ligurian town of Ceriale, killing 23-year-old Sofia Barberi and

seriously injuring another woman, who, among other things, has

had a foot amputated.

Soon after the accident, the man posted a profanity-ridden video

of himself laughing as he commented on the aftermath and said:

"I swear, this one here is dead".

He subsequently issued an apology, saying he did not realize the

gravity of what had happened, and his parents had to call the

police to intervene after an angry crowd formed outside his home

at the weekend.

But in a new reel posted at Milan's Malpensa airport on Monday,

there was little sign of remorse.

"I think my plan to live a happy life in Italy has failed. All

of Italy hates us, remigration," he quipped, referring to the

flagship policy of former Italian general Roberto Vannacci's new

far-right National Future (FN) party.

"This accident has ruined my life.

"Luckily I take everything with a laugh".

The woman who was driving the Fiat 500 and who had only recently

passed her driving test has had her licence withdrawn and has

been reported to prosecutors for alleged vehicular homicide and

aggravated bodily harm.
