A person died tragically after police officers restrained him during an arrest in Bologna on 21 July 2026.
His name was Lucumi, a native, a unknown resident.
Riots erupted after the incident, unrest that drew condemnation.
Several bystanders were hurt in the clashes.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticised the unrest and called for a probe into the arrest that led to the death.
Reports say medics delayed their response for police clearance.
Lucumi’s family of the man stated police agreed to let him go if a transfer deal for football went through before they took him in.
Authorities today examine how officers handled the restraint.
