It may well have been just a scuffle in a bar like any other day.
Pure speculation.
Loose lips sink ships.

Trouble flares in Turin
Apr 13 2005
From Tony Barrett in Turin, Liverpool Echo
Aaron Want was attacked in Turin
A LIVERPOOL fan today told of his terror after he was attacked by an armed gang of Italian hooligans.
The thugs ran amok in a quiet bar in Turin, scattering families as they rampaged through the dining area to reach Reds fans.
Aaron Want, 28, was grabbed and beaten about the head repeatedly with an iron bar by one hooligan.
After struggling free he was locked in a storeroom by a frightened barmaid for his own safety.
Today he told the ECHO he feared for his life in the unprovoked assault.
He said: "We'd been having a drink in the Shakespeare pub and then we decided to move on with another group of Liverpool supporters.
"It was really civilised in there. There were families eating meals and there was a great atmosphere.
"A group of men and women turned up after a couple of minutes. They were standing next to us at the bar.
"All of a sudden the men pulled baseball bats and iron bars from underneath their coats and attacked us.
"One of them grabbed me and beat me over the head with an iron bar.
"I don't know how many times he hit me, but I managed to pull away.
"I realised I was bleeding quite heavily. The barmaid showed us into a storeroom and locked the door so we could be safe.
"I don't know why it happened, we were just having a quite drink. Noone was wearing any colours or singing."
He added: "God knows what would have happened to me if I hadn't managed to escape."
Mr Want is determined to make it to the game tonight, despite needing five stitches and suffering concussion.
Eight Juve fans are being questioned by police.
An Italian police spokeswoman said: " Twenty Juventus fans were stopped. We searched the vehicles and their homes and we found baseball bats and other weapons"
This morning gangs were reported to be roaming the streets, taunting anyone who appeared to be in Turin for tonight's match.
A gang carrying batons and bottles threatened Liverpool supporters outside their hotel.
