Video of police car crashing into Ramy's scooter broadcast

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 8 - A video broadcast on television Tuesday night showing a police car crashing into the scooter of a 19-year-old Egyptian Milan resident, Ramy Elgamel, in a fatal accident on November 24 during a chase with the Carabinieri has prompted a request from the victim's family to investigate the officers involved on murder charges.
    The images broadcast by the evening news programs of State boroadcaster RAI's third channel and TgLa7, show the impact between the scooter carrying Ramy in the back and driver Fares Bouzidi, a 22-year-old Tunisian citizen, and the police car chasing them.
    In the video, a Carabinieri officer can be heard cursing after the first impact, apparently because the passengers didn't fall and then, after an apparent second contact between the car and the scooter, the officers informing their colleagues via radio that the pair "have fallen down" after losing control of the moped, to which someone replies "good". Investigators are also examining footage showing the Carabinieri officers involved as they approach the youth who filmed the accident with his phone who apparently order him to erase it, according to investigative sources.
    The attorneys representing Ramy's family, Debora Piazza and Marco Romagnoli, said they believe the Carabinieri officers should be charged with murder and not with road homicide.
    Milan State attorneys have opened an investigation into the case, probing the officer who was driving the police car on road murder charges and at least two other Carabinieri officers on fraud charges, among others, over the fact that a video filmed by a key witness was allegedly erased.
    Milan's Corvetto district registered three nights of unrest mainly by immigrant youths after Ramy was killed in the police car chase. (ANSA).
