ItalyFive municipal police officers in Milan are under investigation for allegedly conducting an illegal arrest and falsifying evidence during a July 16 incident. The officers are accused of illegally taking €1,400 from a person they had arrested, whose testimony led to the investigation. The arrests were ordered by a judge on August 6 at the request of Milan’s Public Prosecutor and carried out by the Radiomobile unit. The case was coordinated by prosecutor Giovanni Tarzia, following a complaint from the defense lawyer of the individual who was initially arrested by the five officers. The head of the local police force, Gianluca Mirabelli, described the situation as 'dolorous' but emphasized the body’s commitment to upholding institutional integrity. The prosecutors allege the group acted like a 'squadretta,' suggesting organized misconduct. One female officer and four male agents are in custody. The judicial order focuses specifically on the July 16 incident, though it references other similar cases yet to be fully investigated.
