Milan Officer Killed While Chasing SUV; Driver Arrested and Charged

Forensic tests with an autopsy will seek to settle whether the recovered Audi Q7 struck the officer after investigators found the vehicle and detained two people.

Overview

  • The pursuit began Monday night when an Audi Q7 ignored a checkpoint near Ponte Lambro and officer Francesco Imprezzabile fell from his motorcycle and later died at Niguarda hospital.
  • Investigators recovered the Audi in Pioltello, detained two people and, after an interrogation, prosecutors arrested a 27-year-old driver on a charge of omicidio stradale.
  • The public prosecutor has publicly stated there was no intentional ‘speronamento,’ a claim that contrasts with other accounts and will be tested by technical vehicle forensics and the ordered autopsy.
  • Separately in Milan, police used CCTV and rapid inquiries to arrest four Egyptian nationals accused of a brutal April robbery at Montenapoleone metro, highlighting intensified local enforcement.
  • In an unrelated case, a shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges left three dead including the suspected attacker and a police officer, with authorities still investigating motive amid concern about reported targeting of Jewish businesses.
