Overview
- Carmelo Cinturrino, an assistant chief, remains in custody at San Vittore, with a judge citing risk of reoffending and alleged evidence tampering in the January 26 shooting of Abderrahim Mansouri.
- He delivered a handwritten letter expressing remorse and saying the victim should have been in prison, as Mansouri’s family urged a full confession and denounced what they called a staged scene.
- Four colleagues under investigation for aiding and failure to assist have been transferred to non‑operational posts in different locations.
- The probe now scrutinizes the Mecenate precinct for alleged intimidation, extortion and requests for cocaine or money in exchange for protection, with investigators reviewing records, assets and witness accounts.
- Police leadership has launched disciplinary proceedings seeking Cinturrino’s dismissal, and the questore has readied a plan to replace the precinct’s leadership in coordination with the national chief.
