Overview

• Prosecutors asked the investigating judge to open an incidente probatorio and appoint a court expert to produce a single, court-validated reconstruction of the crash.
• The move delays by at least two months any decision on whether to pursue charges or close the case as the perizia is carried out.
• The request follows technical reports from the prosecution, defense, and the victim’s side that reached divergent conclusions and do not allow a unified account of events.
• The outcome could determine whether to seek trial or archiving for both the pursuing carabiniere and scooter driver Fares Bouzidi in the death of 19-year-old Ramy Elgaml on November 24, 2024.
• Although the prosecutors’ consultant, engineer Domenico Romaniello, mostly blamed Bouzidi and deemed the officer’s conduct proper, prosecutors highlighted an inadequate following distance of less than 1.5 meters before the impact at Via Ripamonti and Via Quaranta.
