Violence at the police station in Verona, two officers convicted of torture

Alessandro Migliori and Loris Colpini, the two policemen on duty in 2022 at the Volanti, were sentenced by the Verona court to 6 and a half years and 4 years and 3 months respectively, accused of torture against two people who had been stopped and taken to the offices of the Verona Police Headquarters.

The prosecutors, Carlo Boranga and Chiara Bisso, had requested sentences of 6 years and 7 months for Migliore and 3 years and 10 months for Colpini, who was therefore given a shorter sentence. The panel, chaired by judge Raffaele Ferraro, instead acquitted Colpini of the charge of discrimination for another episode linked to a third party stopped at the police station.

Both were banned from holding public office. Migliore in the meantime had already resigned from the State Police. Another 12 officers were sent to trial, including four for torture, and the trial will open in February 2027. Last February, however, another three policemen were sentenced in an abbreviated manner to lighter sentences (between 4 and 5 months), for various reasons for injuries, failure to report and forgery.
