Overview
- Alessandro Ambrosio, a 34-year-old Trenitalia conductor, was fatally stabbed near the staff parking area at Bologna Centrale while off duty.
- Authorities named Marin Jelenic as the suspect after CCTV showed him following the victim through the station toward Piazzale Ovest.
- Jelenic boarded a regional train toward Milan and was made to disembark at Fiorenzuola, where he was identified and released before a search notice had been circulated.
- Police later raided a regional service at Piacenza without finding him, and reported sightings in Milan have kept the nationwide search active.
- The inquiry, led by prosecutor Michele Martorelli with railway and forensic police, is collecting video and scientific evidence, and regional rail unions have called an eight-hour strike on January 7 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. over worker safety.
