Fakir death, new complaint from the family after audio with shocking phrases from the police

A new complaint to the Bologna Prosecutor's Office for the sentences uttered by two policemen during the intervention on 19 July in which Abderrahim Fakir died. It would have been presented by the lawyer Fabio Anselmo, who assists the 42-year-old's family, referring to the words recorded by the bodycam of one of the officers and transcribed in the documents, including "If he dies we'll have fun" and "He died, ah". According to what was anticipated by Repubblica, the complaint would hypothesize more serious crimes than the one currently contested, arguing that the sentences uttered during the intervention could contribute to clarifying the psychological element of the conduct.

De Pascale: "We immediately activated an internal audit following the 118 intervention"

The president of the Emilia-Romagna Region, Michele de Pascale, also spoke on the matter. "As the Emilia-Romagna Region we immediately activated an internal audit and verification of what happened", he declared. "To comment on the expert report I have to read it, so far we have learned the news from the newspapers. Faced with a case like this everyone, regardless of what the judiciary's assessments will be, must ask themselves what more and better could have been done", he added. De Pascale therefore distinguishes between any criminal profiles and checks on the healthcare organization. "There is a criminal aspect which I won't go into, because I am very respectful of the prerogatives of the judiciary. But there is also a dimension of the healthcare organization. Faced with every adverse event, especially when it leads to the death of a person, the healthcare structures of Emilia-Romagna question themselves and verify down to the last comma what should have been done, what could have been done, what worked and what didn't work." “This work was started from day one, independently of the activity of the judiciary,” concludes de Pascale.
