Overview

• Carabinieri responded around 8:40 a.m. to an apartment in Naples’ Chiaia district following reports of a family dispute.
• Investigative accounts say officers tried to calm the 35-year-old, used pepper spray, then discharged a taser in line with legal procedures.
• The man, described as naked and in a confused state, allegedly resisted and assaulted the officers before the stun gun was used.
• He died in an ambulance while being transported to hospital, and the body has been placed under judicial custody for autopsy.
• The case adds to heightened scrutiny of police taser use across Italy after other recent incidents now under forensic and prosecutorial review.
