Milan, policeman stabbed by an irregular Moroccan for 22 years. And Sala unloads on the government – ​​

A police officer was seriously stabbed in Milan. And the mayor of the Lombardy capital, Giuseppe Sala, blames the Meloni government. To use a euphemism, throwing her into politics immediately seems disrespectful towards the police deputy inspector himself, Christian Di Martino, 35 years old, who was hit with 3 stab wounds in the lung, spleen and stomach. At this point, it seems appropriate to remember that Milan is the black jersey of crime in Italy, as certified by the latest report from the Interior Ministry, with almost 7 thousand crimes reported per 100 thousand inhabitants in 2022 and complaints growing by 3.5% in the first half of 2023 Returning to the news, the policeman was stabbed around midnight – between Wednesday and yesterday – near the Lambrate station.

A patrol of officers intervened for a man, later identified as Hasan Hamis, who was throwing stones at trains and had hit a 55-year-old woman in the head, who was taken to hospital in a non-serious condition. The Moroccan, in an altered state, pulled out a knife, sticking out of the sleeve of his jacket, with a 20 centimeter blade, hitting the deputy inspector three times, who was immediately transported in serious condition to the Niguarda hospital where he underwent emergency surgery . The surgical operation lasted seven hours, the man underwent approximately 70 transfusions. His condition remains critical but stable. Two Polfer officers were also slightly injured in the attempt to block it.

The 37-year-old Moroccan was arrested following being stunned by the taser. It’s not the first time, because Hamis is a multiple criminal. He had been arrested and photo reported even 22 years ago, exactly on 18 December 2002 in Naples. And since then, he has remained in Italy as an illegal citizen, despite three expulsion measures being adopted (2004, 2012, 2023). Even a few days ago, on May 5, he had been reported for resisting a public official by Bologna railway police officers.

But for dem Sala, “the government has not done its duty”. “If there is an expulsion order, the duty is to carry it out – states the mayor of Milan – Otherwise those who lose out are the police or the citizens” and in this case it is “clear who is responsible”. Through a note, the Quirinale announced that “the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, has inquired from Minister Piantedosi regarding the health conditions of deputy inspector Christian Di Martino”. The prime minister is also following “with apprehension all developments regarding the attack”. “My deepest sympathy to the injured agent, his family and colleagues of the state police – says Giorgia Meloni”. The League, however, reports that the deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini went privately to the NiAnni hospital. The age of the policeman who suffered three stab wounds. He is hospitalized in serious conditions following having undergone surgery. solidarity with family, friends and colleagues of the injured deputy inspector”. Also visiting the deputy inspector was the police chief, Vittorio Pisani. The Minister of the Interior, Matteo Piantedosi, the Interior Ministry informs, is constantly in contact with the police chief, who he has asked to convey to the policeman’s family and all his colleagues «his emotional closeness in this moment of great worry”. “Closeness” to the deputy inspector also on the part of the Undersecretary of the Interior Wanda Ferro (FdI).

«The current security situation in Milan and what happened in Lambrate station deserve a reflection that can no longer be postponed and Mayor Sala must become aware of it» comments the president of the Forza Italia Council and former mayor of Milan Letizia Moratti. Finally, Coisp, the police union, points out that «what has happened highlights even more how the women and men of the police force are constantly exposed to risks to their own safety in carrying out their work. We can only rally around the deputy inspector and his family.”
