Rome, minicar gang: actor Iacopini leaves hospital for rehabilitation

The recovery of the actor Davide Iacopini, victim of the violent attack attributed to the so-called "minicar gang", continues. After over a month of hospitalization and two neurosurgical operations, he was transferred to Life-Santa Lucia Irccs to begin his rehabilitation journey.

Just over a month after hospitalisation, Davide Iacopini leaves the San Camillo Forlanini hospital in Rome, after being transported in very serious conditions following the attack he suffered on 5 October by the so-called "minicar gang". The actor was on board his scooter when he was hit with a kick from one of the young people traveling on a minicar, suffering serious injuries. A new phase of the recovery path now opens for the actor, which will continue in a specialized rehabilitation facility.

The transfer to Santa Lucia

In a note, the San Camillo hospital communicates that "Iacopini has been transferred to Life - Santa Lucia Irccs, where he will begin his rehabilitation process". "The patient, hospitalized at the San Camillo Forlanini hospital since 6 October, underwent a complex clinical process and two neurosurgical operations, during which he was constantly assisted by the hospital's medical and healthcare teams, first at the shock and trauma unit, then at the neurosurgery unit. The progressive improvement of his clinical conditions allowed the transfer. The treatment process is not yet concluded and will require a further period of rehabilitation and specialist monitoring", concludes the note.

The investigation into the minicar gang

The attack on Davide Iacopini is part of the investigation into the "minicar gang", two teenagers accused of a series of raids that took place between 4 and 5 October in the Monteverde and Testaccio districts of Rome. At the center of the investigation are two boys aged 16 and 17, investigated by the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office for attempted murder, aggravated bodily harm and battery. According to what emerged, the young people would have hit passers-by and people in the street while traveling in a minicar, kicking and suddenly attacking the victims.
