Overview
- Carabinieri detained 59-year-old Vincenzo Lanni in a Milan hotel near the Central Station after releasing CCTV images from the morning attack.
- A tip from the suspect’s twin sister and cellphone positioning helped locate him; officers found clothing matching what was seen on surveillance video.
- The victim, 43-year-old Finlombarda manager Anna Laura Valsecchi, underwent surgery at Niguarda and remains in reserved prognosis after injuries reported to the spleen and lung.
- Initial checks found no connection between Lanni and Valsecchi, and prosecutors are examining whether the assault was a random attack as the inquiry continues.
- Lanni previously was convicted over two 2015 stabbings in the Bergamo area and has documented psychiatric issues, including a ruling of partial incapacity and time in prison and a psychiatric facility.
