Milan Honors Carabinieri Unit as Ramy Case Puts Award Under Scrutiny

A recently closed probe listing seven carabinieri under investigation keeps questions over Ramy Elgaml’s death at the center of Milan’s civic debate.

Overview

  • The city conferred the Ambrogini d’oro on the Nucleo Radiomobile during Sunday’s ceremony at Teatro Dal Verme.
  • The award drew criticism after the inquiry into Ramy Elgaml’s death was closed days ago with seven carabinieri under investigation, including two for alleged vehicular homicide and five for alleged fraud and evidence tampering.
  • Artist Cristina Donati Meyer installed a poster near the venue and another in Corvetto, arguing that celebrating the unit is premature while the case remains unresolved.
  • Green party floor leader Tommaso Gorini wore a “Ramy vive” T‑shirt onstage, saying he sought to carry Ramy’s story into the event rather than protest the prize.
  • Mayor Giuseppe Sala cautioned against casting “good and bad” labels while praising the corps’ service, and Senate President Ignazio La Russa expressed solidarity with the unit; the ceremony proceeded without disruptions.
