Milan, 24 July (LaPresse) – “The police officers approached the situation with sensitivity and tact, given the circumstances, and then took the necessary measures to bring the situation under control when it was getting out of hand.” This was stated by the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, speaking on the programme *L’aria che tira* on La7. “I have formed an opinion on yet another incident that highlights the complexity of the work law enforcement officers are called upon to carry out when faced with highly complex situations within a matter of seconds,” he said. “Those on duty at that moment must make decisions based solely on their professionalism and conscience.” “I believe that all the necessary care, balance and prudence were exercised in these cases,” he added. “We are awaiting the judicial investigation, but I believe it is heading towards a finding that the officers acted correctly.” Piantedosi stated that he “had not seen the bodycam footage, but only the footage in the public domain, so as not to interfere in any way with the investigations being conducted under the supervision of the judicial authorities. We are only at the beginning, and I have faith in the judicial authorities.”
