Investigation into the death of a drug dealer in Rogoredo: four more police officers under investigation

The investigation into the police shooting death of Moroccan Abderrahim Mansouri has expanded to include four additional officers facing charges of aiding and omission of rescue.

The legal case stemming from the January 26 shooting in Rogoredo, which resulted in the death of 28-year-old Moroccan Abderrahim Mansouri, has seen new developments as the Milan Prosecutor's Office has added four police officers to the list of those under investigation. These new officers face allegations of aiding and omission of rescue, thus broadening the inquiry beyond the already known case of the officer accused of homicide. Mansouri's death, caused by a police officer's gunshot during a drugs operation, had immediately raised questions and controversies regarding the events surrounding his death and the subsequent actions taken by law enforcement. Initially, the only officer under investigation was the one who fired the fatal shot, facing a potential charge of voluntary manslaughter due to indications that Mansouri pointed a gun, later determined to be a replica, at the officers. As the investigation progresses, led by Prosecutor Marcello Viola, the implications may add layers of accountability to the police's actions during drug enforcement operations. This case not only highlights concerns over police conduct but also invites a broader discussion on the handling of drug-related policing and the consequences of such encounters on community safety and police-community relations.
