Beaten by police and seized at the station house, he ends up in hospital: four officers under house arrest and two suspended in Rome.
Four police officers, belonging to the commissariats of Rome Esquilino and Celio, have been placed under house arrest, and another two, from the Viminale commissariat, have been suspended from duty by the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office. The six are accused, to varying degrees, of kidnapping, assault, defamation, aiding and abetting, and ideological fraud.
According to La Repubblica and Roma Today, they allegedly beat, detained in a commissariat, and then produced false reports against a Cuban citizen who reported the incident on the evening of August 27th.
The man was located not far from Termini Station, on Via Gioberti. Here, according to the two news sources, he was stopped by four police officers, two from Celio and two from Esquilino, who showed him his documents. However, this check, without apparent reason, according to videos acquired by the Rome Public Prosecutor’s Office, degenerates: the officers punch him and even slap him. Then, the man is handcuffed and taken to the patrol car, to the Viminale commissariat. Here, according to reconstructions, the Cuban attempts to avoid arrest and is struck again, even with a punch to the face that opens his eyebrow. Taken to the hospital, he then reports everything, and a dislocation of a finger and a wound to the eyebrow are diagnosed.
However, according to the reports, the injuries were not caused by the beating but the man caused them himself, by moving around. A conflicting version that prompted the Public Prosecutor’s Office to focus not only on the alleged punches but also on the alleged manipulation of the reports in which a false resistance to public officials was recounted.
On Friday, the six police officers, defended by lawyers Carlo Testa Piccolomini and Luca Rossi, Repubblica reports, will appear before Judge for Preliminary Investigations Paolo Scotto Di Luzio for the preliminary interrogations.
Meanwhile, Senator Ilaria Cucchi, brother of Stefano, has informed Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi of the case. “The Cuban citizen, suffering from the beatings sustained following the police check at Termini Station in Rome, sustained injuries deemed curable in 18 days. This is a serious matter that should not have happened, given that the use of force, strictly regulated by law, must always respect the principles of legality, necessity, proportionality, and graduality,” reads a note from Avs, which speaks of "yet another case of excessive use of force by the Police Forces resulting in abuse of power."
“Beaten by police officers and detained in a commissariat, man ends up in hospital: four officers under house arrest and two suspended in Rome” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.
