Overview
- Police reconstructed two separate collisions on May 23, 2026 involving a Land Rover Defender linked to Belen Rodriguez, first striking a parked car’s mirror in via Melzi d’Eril and later hitting a scooter and parked vehicles in via San Marco that left three people with minor injuries.
- The Polizia Locale transmitted a formal notizia di reato to the Procura di Milano and physically withdrew Rodriguez’s driving licence, which was sent to the Prefettura to consider any administrative suspension.
- Officers relied on scene inspections, witness statements and photos taken by passersby to identify the vehicle and support their reconstruction of the incidents.
- Rodriguez’s lawyer, Giuseppe Russo, issued a public denial that omissione di soccorso was committed and has contested media disclosures including reports about the investigating public prosecutor and details of her hospitalisation.
- The transmission to the Procura opens a preliminary inquiry but is not a charge; the prosecutor will decide whether to file charges or request archiving and the Prefettura will set any licence suspension period.
