Rome, 8 May 2024 – It could be Antonio Romanuccithe Italian-American lawyer (the family is originally from Ascoli Piceno) in the case George Floyd to assist Matteo Falcinelli in the case against policemen Of You love me. Expert in civil rights, Romanucci will have a preliminary conversation with Vlasta Studenicovathe mother of the arrested Italian student Miami (VIDEO) and subjected to hogtied restraint in the transit cell of the North Miami Beach police station, before being taken to the cell.
The person who contacted the Chicago law firm was Italian consulate in Florida who is assisting the family in this difficult and painful battle for the truth. Floyd, a 46-year-old African American, was suffocated to death during arrest with the knee on his neck, the same to which Matteo was subjected. And the man’s feeble and desperate voice (“I can’t breathe”) was of no use in training his grip. A case that set America on fire in 2020, sparking the indignation of millions of Americans and protests in the name of the black rights movement Black Lives Matter.
Meanwhile, other details emerge of Matteo’s arrest and release on bail (just under 4 thousand dollars) who, in the next few days (mid-May) will return to Italy with his mother to undergo some medical examinations and, once on land Italian, he will want to talk about the torment he experienced. A second police report was filed in the Miami court, signed by the colleagues of the first two officers who intervened in front of the strip bar where on the night between 24 and 25 February Falcinelli was arrested for resisting, trespassing and resisting arrest without violence, after being thrown out of the club.
“We arrived in an emergency as the police officers needed assistance,” it is written. Four other officers rush to the scene to ‘contain’ a 25-year-old student who was asking for his (stolen-leftover) cell phones back inside the club, as clearly emerges from the police bodycam. “When both police officers came into contact with Matteo he said – it is written in the report – that he wanted his $500 back from the club because he had spent it there.” In the images, audio-video, there is no trace of the request for money. In the official report, the police also underline that the prison, the Tgk Center, did not accept the inmate due to his injuries and therefore asked that he be taken to hospital first, to the Jackson Memorial Hospital. It was at that moment that – according to what emerges from another video – Falcinelli attempted to oppose for fear of ‘dying’.
“This kills me,” he reportedly said in relation to the presence of one of the officers who, shortly before, had subjected him to violence at the Miami Date County Fire Rescue. When he came in prison However, Falcinelli found himself unable to contact his family because he was not allowed international calls. Hence – as he had confided to Qn – the terror of never going out again and the sensation of feeling abandoned. He had been a bond agent, the employee of one of the agencies that in the States pay on guarantee, the bail to free prisoners, who agreed to telephone his brother and mother to inform them that he was in prison. Because for a foreign student not even the agencies are ready to pay for the release. College friends did it.
