Carmelo Cinturrino, the chief assistant at the Mecenate police station in Milan, has been ordered to remain in prison following the serious charge of voluntary manslaughter against him, concerning the murder of 28-year-old Abderrahim Mansouri. The incident occurred on January 26 when Mansouri was shot dead on via Impastato. During the proceeding, the judge, Domenico Santoro, did not validate the arrest made by the mobile squad on the grounds of potential flight risk but acknowledged the necessity of preventive custody due to serious indications of guilt and the risk of tampering with evidence.

In the interrogative sessions, Cinturrino provided responses regarding the accusations against him, yet the judge's decision reflects the severity of the evidence presented by the prosecution, which had recommended his continued detention. Prosecutor Giovanni Tarzia and Milan's chief prosecutor, Marcello Viola, emphasized the need for measures to prevent potential reoffending and to ensure that the investigation remains untainted.

The case sheds light on the challenging dynamics within law enforcement, especially when officers are implicated in criminal activities and raises concerns regarding the accountability and behavior of police personnel. The decision to keep Cinturrino in custody indicates a serious approach by the judicial system towards these allegations, as it seeks to uphold integrity within the police force while addressing public safety concerns.
