Franco Gabrielli, the former chief of police, addressed concerns regarding the police reward system following an incident involving Carmelo Cinturrino, a police officer who faced scrutiny for shooting an unarmed drug dealer in Rogoredo. Gabrielli highlighted how nominations for police awards are made by the relevant police offices, specifically hinting at the Milan police department, under a strict regulatory framework determining the proposals and their assessment by specialized commissions. He emphasized that his name appears in the context of the rewards merely due to procedural protocols, as he was in office at the time and signed off on these recognitions, which are not a personal endorsement but a formal requirement.
