Overview
- Prosecutors notified a fresh closure of the probe on February 16, requalifying the driving officer’s conduct as road homicide with negligent excess in the performance of duty.
- Investigators state the officer was acting in service but should have kept a greater distance given the speeds during the 8 km chase.
- The latest filing narrows the case to six suspects and removes a false-information-to-prosecutors count for technical–procedural reasons.
- Reconstruction cites a contact between the scooter’s rear-right side and the patrol car’s front bumper, after which the scooter slipped and Ramy Elgaml was thrown against a traffic-light pole and fatally crushed at via Ripamonti and via Quaranta.
- Fares Bouzidi has a first-instance conviction of two years and eight months for resisting a public official in relation to the escape, and the officer also faces a lesions count tied to him under the same negligent-excess framing.
