Investigations continue into the black minicar 'gang' in Rome, after the attack suffered in recent days by the actor Davide Iacopini, who was hospitalized in serious condition. According to the investigators, the perpetrators could be two minors and would be the same ones responsible for other similar actions that also occurred in the Monteverde Vecchio area. A meeting was held today at the Prosecutor's Office to take stock of the investigations: the investigators are trying to identify the two people who were on board the black electric car, reconstructing the route through the analysis of the cameras present in the areas of Monteverde Vecchio and Testaccio. At the moment, based on what we learn, there are no identikits on the perpetrator of the attack.
Another complaint from a man hit in the street
This morning a 67-year-old man reported to the police at the Rome Monteverde Nuovo station that he had been approached in the late evening of October 4, while walking along Viale dei Quattro Venti, by a black minicar with two subjects on board. The passenger hit him in the side with a plastic pipe. The man, who was near his home, did not request emergency assistance.
Attackers “hunting for victims”
According to those investigating, the two alleged attackers were "hunting for victims", but at the moment the hypothesis that it could be a "challenge" that appeared on social networks has not been confirmed. Meanwhile, in the past few hours another woman reported having been pushed by the passenger of a minicar while she was cycling in the Monteverde district of Rome. She presented herself yesterday morning to the police at the Gianicolense station, where a complaint was formalized for personal injury to unknown persons. The woman said that on Monday evening while she was cycling along Via San Pancrazio she was pushed by the passenger of a black minicar, who then fled, falling to the ground.
The investigators' hypotheses
Witnesses to the episodes said that the minicar "did not make any noise", and this leads investigators to assume that the vehicle was electrically powered. An element that further narrows the search field. It cannot be ruled out that the two live precisely in that quadrant of the capital. The hypothesis is that those responsible acted following a precise scheme, targeting chosen people for no apparent reason. A sort of patrol in search of the many who use electric scooters to get around the streets of Rome.
The conditions of Davide Iacopini
Meanwhile, the conditions of Davide Iacopini, an actor known for having appeared in successful works such as Suburra and Maschi veri, remain critical. To date, the post-operative course continues normally, compatibly with the severe initial severity. He is undergoing intensive monitoring and therapeutic support, and the prognosis is still strictly guarded. The San Camillo Forlanini hospital announced this today in the bulletin on the conditions of the actor, hospitalized in intensive care after suffering a serious head injury.
