He was asking for protection money”, “he lied about the rescue”: what doesn’t add up regarding the policeman’s position who shot the drug dealer

The investigation into the death of Abderrahim Mansouri has intensified the legal troubles for police officer Carmelo Cinturrino, who is now being investigated for voluntary manslaughter after allegedly lying about the shooting incident.

The investigation into the death of 28-year-old Moroccan national Abderrahim Mansouri in the woods of Rogoredo is leading to more serious implications for police officer Carmelo Cinturrino, who is now facing charges of voluntary manslaughter. According to recent findings from interrogations at the Milan police headquarters, Cinturrino may have misled his colleagues about his actions during and after the shooting. Four other officers are under investigation for aiding Cinturrino and failing to call for medical help in a timely manner, as it was revealed that the emergency call was made too late. Cinturrino allegedly claimed to have already notified the authorities about the incident.

Further complicating the case, investigators from the mobile squad have pinpointed a specific timeline regarding the shooting, suggesting that it occurred around 5:30 PM on the 27th. This timing raises additional questions about the sequence of events and the responses from law enforcement following the incident. The growing scrutiny over the officer’s conduct brings to light the serious issues surrounding police accountability and the handling of emergency situations in Italy.

As the investigation continues, it places a spotlight not only on the individual actions of Cinturrino but also on systemic problems within the police force regarding procedural adherence and the treatment of incidents involving use of force. The outcome of this case could have broader implications for police practices and reform in Italy's approach to law enforcement and community safety.
