On Friday evening, Milan prosecutors announced that their investigation into the death of Ramy Elgaml concluded that the carabinieri's actions during the pursuit of the motorbike the young man was riding adhered to correct procedures.

This finding, coming nearly two months after the tragic incident, suggests no procedural violations were committed by the officers involved.

The officers' actions had been under intense scrutiny and criticism from various political factions and parts of the media, which had highlighted issues around the handling of the incident.

Progressive media outlets had been notably vocal, and there have been public demonstrations against law enforcement in the wake of the event, although these protests have not been universally condemned by political leaders.

In contrast, reports from right-leaning publications, such as 'Libero', 'il Giornale', and 'La Verità', have suggested that earlier scrutiny was sensationalized, especially following the release of an audio recording purportedly capturing the officers expressing relief over the non-fatal outcome for Ramy and another individual involved.

The broader media landscape saw comprehensive reporting when previous evidence seemed to implicate law enforcement negatively.

For instance, an earlier audio clip attracted significant attention by suggesting officers had made inappropriate remarks regarding the pursuit's potential outcome.

This coverage occurred amidst other significant news events, including geopolitical developments involving Ukraine and the release of journalist Cecilia Sala.

Public officials who had previously questioned the carabinieri's conduct, such as Milan’s mayor, Beppe Sala, and former police chief Franco Gabrielli, have not yet commented on the prosecutor’s recent findings.

The Milan incident has sparked a broader discourse about media objectivity and the political utilization of law enforcement narratives.

The recent video footage analyzed by investigators indicates that during the eight-minute pursuit, officers took considerable care to avoid causing harm, including efforts to stop the vehicle safely.

The actions of the carabinieri during this pursuit come against a backdrop of ongoing debates about law enforcement procedures and their representation in media and public discussions.
