He filed a complaint against local police officers for injuries aggravated by abuse of public function and discrimination, as well as for torture and serious threats, the 42-year-old transsexual who was hit with kicks and batons, including in the head, on May 24 in Milan by at least two policemen, as emerged from some amateur videos, in front of the Bocconi library.
The complaint was filed this morning in the Prosecutor's Office by the lawyer of the 42-year-old, lawyer Debora Piazza who is also in contact with the Brazilian consulate. With the complaint and after the medical report on a "head injury compatible with a truncheon", as clarified by the lawyer, the investigation opened by the deputy Tiziana Siciliano and the prosecutor Giancarla Serafini for injuries aggravated by the abuse of the public function can continue and in the next few hours the names of at least three of the four agents of the Local intervened should be registered.
A female agent, on the other hand, would not have taken part in the alleged beating on which the prosecutors investigate.
In the complaint, the lawyer also contested the aggravating circumstance provided for in Article 604 ter of the Penal Code, which punishes crimes committed "with the purpose of ethnic, racial and religious discrimination". According to the woman and her lawyer, in fact, the agents would have attacked her as a transsexual. The torture is contested, however, because after the alleged beating the woman "was kept locked inside the police car for at least 20 minutes", after they had sprayed "pepper spray in her face". Among other things, the lawyer has also filed with the prosecutors a new video shot with a mobile phone by a witness and which resumes the moments following when the woman was handcuffed, ie when she is taken to the local police car.
