Police arrest 6 more Latin Kings over murder at Milan train station

Milanese police on Monday arrested

six more members of the Latin Kings street gang over the May 26

murder at a Milan train station of a 22-year-old

second-generation Italian of Ecuadorian extraction.

The State Police, coordinated by the Milan Prosecutor's Office,

has executed a precautionary detention order issued against six

young foreigners, a 19-year-old Dominican and five Peruvians

between the ages of 18 and 22, believed, on various counts and

in concert, to be responsible for the murder of Gianluca Ibarra

Silvera, committed near the Milan Certosa train station.

This is the continuation of the investigation conducted by the

Flying Squad of the Milan Police Headquarters, which, on June

5th and 9th, already arrested two suspects, believed to be the

perpetrators of the fatal stabbing.

The measures were carried out in the provinces of Milan and

Monza, where the six targets were located and arrested.

Investigative investigations, conducted by the Second Section

for Foreign Crime and Prostitution, including analysis of video

surveillance footage and testimonies, allowed the investigators

to reconstruct the attack.

According to the findings, the group, belonging to the Latin

King gang, initially surrounded the victim, his brother, and

their friend, then attacked them with rocks, bottles, and

knives, chasing them along the railway tracks.

During the escape, the victim, who fell to the ground, was

reached and struck multiple times with cutting weapons.
