Overview
- GIP Domenico Santoro declined to validate the police-executed stop but imposed pretrial custody in San Vittore on assistant chief Carmelo Cinturrino for the January 26 shooting of Abderrahim Mansouri.
- The order cites a staged scene: a replica pistol placed near the victim, the body repositioned, and a 22–23 minute delay before calling emergency services, with a shot to the head fired from roughly 28–30 meters.
- An eyewitness told prosecutors the victim was unarmed and fleeing with a phone and a stone, contradicting initial accounts that claimed a weapon and self‑defense.
- Four colleagues who first backed Cinturrino’s version have revised their statements and are under investigation for possible cover‑up and omission of aid, with risks of further tampering noted by the judge.
- Police chief Vittorio Pisani ordered immediate disciplinary proceedings to strip the uniform and will extend inspections to the entire Mecenate precinct, as Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi condemned the conduct; prosecutors are also examining broader misconduct allegations, and the defense plans to seek relief at the Riesame.
