Fifteen local police officers have ended up in the crosshairs of justice, accused of serious crimes: injuries to citizens and embezzlement. The investigation, conducted by investigators of the Flying Squad and coordinated by the prosecutor Sabrina Monteverde, has revealed a disturbing picture of abuse and embezzlement. The episodes of violence, which occurred between January 1, 2024 and February 28, 2025, involve several victims, all foreigners, including a minor.
Shocking details of abuse
The victims of these beatings have suffered injuries with variable prognoses: from three to twenty-one days. The stories of those who have suffered violence inside the offices of the local police are heartbreaking. "It is unacceptable that those who should protect citizens behave in this way," says a witness. But the picture does not end there: in addition to the beatings, the officers are accused of embezzlement in two separate incidents.
Embezzlement and the overwhelming evidence
In the first case, the officers allegedly stole 1.200 euros from an illegally occupied apartment, while in the second they allegedly appropriated 0,26 grams of cannabis from a person they stopped. During searches of the offices, 'Tonfa' truncheons were found, not in use by the police, which suggest unorthodox practices and questionable work methods.
The reactions and legal implications
The repercussions of this investigation could be devastating not only for the individual officers involved, but also for the entire local police administration. “It is essential that the legal system takes its course and that there is justice for the victims,” says a criminal law expert. And while the community anxiously awaits developments, tensions remain high between law enforcement and citizens. What will happen now?
