Milan Police Shooting Probe Deepens as DNA Is Detected on Replica Gun and Officers Revise Accounts

New DNA results alongside fresh testimonies intensify scrutiny of the self‑defense claim.

Overview

  • Assistant chief Carmelo Cinturrino is under investigation for homicide, while four colleagues face probes for aggravated omission of aid and favoring after inconsistencies emerged.
  • Interrogations of the four officers produced revised versions that, according to investigators, strengthen the hypothesis of voluntary homicide and contradict initial statements.
  • Forensic analysis found two DNA profiles on the blank‑firing replica recovered near Abderrahim Mansouri, with further comparisons under way and results kept under seal.
  • Phone records and CCTV indicate a roughly 23‑minute gap between the fatal shot and the emergency call, and footage tracks one officer leaving for the station and returning with a backpack.
  • Prosecutors are actively examining a potential staged scene involving the replica pistol, while in Verona the civil party in the Moussa Diarra case is opposing an archival request and a judge has reserved a decision.
