An Italian man died while in police custody, with authorities claiming he was experiencing a “psychiatric crisis” when paramedics were called. Despite the death, no officers are currently under investigation thanks to a law providing legal protection—an “scudo penale”—for agents. Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, stated that questioning this case indicates a lack of trust in both the police and the public prosecutors. The man’s niece expressed the family’s grief and desire for dignity, rejecting hatred and prejudice surrounding her uncle’s death. She emphasized his loving nature and the family's need for respect during this difficult time. The case has sparked controversy over police conduct and the application of the protective law. Further investigation is expected to clarify the circumstances surrounding the death.
