Shock at violent arrest of Italian in Miami

Shock at violent arrest of Italian in Miami

Tajani condemns 'violence and treatment applied' to Falcinelli

Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has condemned the violence a young Italian man, Matteo Falcinelli, was subjected to when he was arrested in Miami in February.
    Police Bodycam videos show the 25-year-old being slammed to the ground outside a night club and then tied up, with his ankles bound and his hands behind his back, at a police station.
    During the videos Falcinelli can be heard to say "I'm not resisting", "please", "I'm not doing anything" and, at one point, screaming in pain.
    The arrest dates back to late February but the family have only just gone public with what happened after an agreement in which Falcinelli agreed to go on a re-educational program in order to avoid jail time.
    "I won the most important match by surviving the torture I suffered," Falcinelli told his mother, Vlasta Studenicova.
    Tajani had a telephone conversation with Studenicova about the case on Sunday.
    "I offered the lady and Falcinelli's family my warmest solidarity," Tajani said.
    "I was deeply shocked by the violence and the kind of treatment that was applied to our young compatriot.
    "The foreign ministry will follow Mr. Falcinelli's case with balance and respect for the US institutions, but also with all the necessary strength".
    Miami police have opened an internal inquiry into the case.
