Overview

• Carabinieri officers intervened late Saturday in Olbia’s Santa Mariedda quarter to stop a 57-year-old man who was reportedly attacking passersby and military personnel
• The Sindacato Indipendente dei Carabinieri reports the man resisted with “inaudita violenza,” injuring one officer who required hospitalization
• A taser was deployed during the confrontation and the man subsequently died in an ambulance en route to an unspecified hospital
• Prosecutors and health authorities have not issued any independent autopsy findings or started a formal investigation specific to this incident
• This case follows a June Pescara death after police restraint that triggered autopsy reviews and Interior Ministry calls for procedure evaluations
