Protest for Ramy turns violent in Turin

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 10 - A protest to demand justice for Ramy Elgaml, the 19-year-old Italo-Egyptian Milan resident who died on November 24 in a scooter accident while being chased by the Carabinieri police turned violent in Turin on Thursday night.
    Police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators, who were members of far-left collective groups, after they tried to reach the 'Bargia' Carabinieri police department in the northwestern city, firing petards, tear gas and bottles against the Carabinieri officials who were protecting the area.
    The demonstration ended in the central Piazza Vittorio Veneto where protesters announced new "initiatives of fight to demand justice".
    Prosecutors in Milan are probing the Carabinieri officials involved in the chase as well as the driver of the scooter on which Ramy was travelling, 22-year-old Tunisian citizen Fares Bouzidi.
    The Carabinieri officer driving the car that is suspected of intentionally ramming into the scooter and Bouzidi are being probed for involuntary road homicide but prosecutors are considering to press charges of voluntary manslaughter with "eventual intent" after a video showing various phases of the car chase was released on Tuesday.
    Other Carabinieri officers are being investigated for allegedly trying to change the police report into the incident, which they said occurred after the duo on the scooter fled a roadblock, prompting the long and dangerous car chase that ended with Ramy's death in the Corvetto district of Milan.
