Overview
- Investigators say that during an anti-drug operation on January 26 a police officer fired a single aimed shot that killed Abderrahim Mansouri in the Rogoredo 'boschetto' and then staged evidence to suggest self‑defense.
- Prosecutors accuse former assistant chief Carmelo Cinturrino of voluntary homicide with a claimed premeditation aggravating circumstance and of planting a fake gun and pressuring colleagues to back a false account.
- Judicial authorities kept Cinturrino in pretrial detention when the Tribunale del Riesame on May 5 rejected his request for house arrest, and he remains held at San Vittore prison.
- The head of the national police, Vittorio Pisani, signed an administrative dismissal on May 20 that was notified to Cinturrino in prison on May 22, a step confirmed in media reporting on June 30.
- The probe has expanded to seven officers facing a total of 43 counts that include extortion, beatings, drug dealing, kidnapping, corruption, falsehoods, obstruction and robbery, raising questions about internal oversight in Milan and further prosecutions to come.
