Rome, 10 Nov. (LaPresse) – Milan State Police have arrested five young men, three Peruvians, one Ecuadorian and one Italian, strongly suspected of jointly murdering Gianluca Ibarra Silvera, which took place on 26 May at Milan Certosa railway station. The arrests were carried out in the provinces of Milan and Monza, where the five suspects, aged between 19 and 23, were located. In recent months, investigators had already carried out restrictive measures against seven other suspects involved in the same case. The number of people subject to precautionary measures issued as part of the investigation has therefore risen to twelve. Investigations, conducted through the analysis of video surveillance systems, the collection of witness statements and extensive investigative checks, made it possible to reconstruct the stages of the attack that led to the young man’s death. He had been surrounded, along with two other young men, by a group of attackers armed with knives and other blunt objects. The investigation also established that the murder arose within the activities of the criminal organisation known as the Latin Kings, whose members, according to the findings, systematically resort to violence and serious crimes against individuals to assert their supremacy and control over the territory.
