- On June 5 prosecutors ordered the fermo of a 19‑year‑old of Peruvian origin and investigators have issued a second measure for a 20‑year‑old who is thought to have left Italy, possibly for Spain.
- Prosecutors allege a coordinated, premeditated group assault involving many attackers and charge the detained suspect with aggravated homicide after the victim suffered multiple stab wounds.
- Investigators built their case from CCTV, phone geolocation and the victim’s brother’s eyewitness account and have executed perquisitions of eight youths while interrogations and technical checks continue.
- Certosa is a longtime meeting point for youth groups and investigators are examining possible links to Latin American pandillas as they seek to identify other participants and await court decisions on custody.
