Cosenza: Vice Brigadier Restaneo returns to patrol after Bessioud death
In Cosenza, Italy, Vice Brigadier Luca Restaneo has returned to active patrol duties following the death of 25-year-old Mohamed Amin Bessioud. The incident occurred on July 23, when Bessioud fell from a third-floor balcony during a police check at his residence.
Bessioud’s mother has alleged a history of abuse and harassment by Restaneo. Concerns have been raised regarding the timing of a report involving a small amount of hashish, which was filed the morning after the death. Critics suggest the report may have been used to justify the use of handcuffs during the encounter.
