Italy: Police Officer Arrested for Killing Drug Dealer - The Reason

Italian police officer Carmelo Cindurino, 41, was arrested today in Milan on charges of intentional manslaughter of 28-year-old Moroccan Abdelrahim Mansouri. Mansouri was killed on January 26 in a park near Milan. Cindurino claimed he shot Mansouri to save himself, but the investigation showed that the Moroccan was not armed. Furthermore, the officer allegedly demanded money and drugs from Mansouri as a 'protection fee'. The case has caused sadness and authorities assure there will be no leniency. The involvement of Cindurino's colleagues who initially tried to cover him up is being investigated.
