Overview
- Assistant chief Carmelo Cinturrino is under investigation for voluntary homicide and four colleagues face probes for aiding and failure to render aid after revising initial statements.
- Autopsy indicates a single fatal shot to the right temple, and a blank‑firing replica Beretta with its red tip removed was found near the body with two DNA profiles isolated and further analyses pending.
- CCTV shows a colleague entering the Mecenate station empty‑handed and returning with a backpack before the emergency call, and investigators count roughly 23 minutes between the shot and the 118 alert.
- Initial checks reported no fingerprints from the victim on the replica, and investigators are examining phones and chats for contacts with the victim and clues to a motive, including references to “Zack.”
- Testimonies under review allege the officer demanded daily cash and cocaine from Mansouri and others, and the interior minister said he welcomed a thorough inquiry without internal concessions.
