Milan Police Detain Six More Suspects in Certosa Station Killing

Prosecutors placed six young foreign nationals in preventive custody as investigators use video, witness testimony and earlier statements to build a coordinated-gang case.

Overview

  • Police executed custody orders for six additional suspects on July 13, raising the number held in connection with the May 26 killing of 22-year-old Gianluca Ibarra Silvera to eight.
  • Authorities say the new detainees include a 19-year-old Dominican and five Peruvian nationals aged 18–22 and that one of those arrested is a 20-year-old social-media trapper known as Reyomar.
  • Investigators reconstructed a coordinated attack in which members of the Latin Kings allegedly surrounded Ibarra, his brother and a friend, used stones and bottles, chased them along railway tracks and repeatedly stabbed the victim.
  • The inquiry relies on CCTV analysis, witness statements and testimony from earlier arrests, and prosecutors have framed the attack as both a retaliation and a bid to assert territorial dominance over rival groups.
  • The case remains in the investigatory and pre-trial phase with police and the Milan prosecutor signaling further legal steps and possible additional identifications as work continues.
