Death under police restraint in Bologna triggers manslaughter probe and protests

Abderrahim Fakir, 42, died July 19 in Bologna while two officers restrained him face-down. Bystander video shows them sitting on him until he stopped moving. Prosecutors opened a manslaughter investigation — a criminal inquiry into unintentional killing — targeting six people, including officers and medics. Several thousand protested; splinter clashes injured 64 officers. PM Meloni urged investigation but condemned the violence.
