Overview
- Examining magistrate Rossana Mongiardo validated the arrest and kept Vincenzo Lanni, 59, in custody on suspicion of attempted murder of Anna Laura Valsecchi, 43.
- The 20-page order says Lanni formed a homicidal intent about five days earlier, obtained a knife, and conducted reconnaissance of Piazza Gae Aulenti before the attack.
- In his interrogation, Lanni said he wanted to target the financial world—preferably someone from Unicredit—as an act of revenge tied to grievances from a decade ago.
- Court records cite prior convictions for two similar attempted homicides in 2015 and describe him as affected by partial mental infirmity.
- Investigators report he chose the victim at random after traveling to Milan from a Varese recovery community; the probe led by the prosecutor and Carabinieri continues amid a stated concrete risk of repeat violence.
