Two Carabinieri officers are under investigation for manslaughter following their response to a disturbance in Olbia last Saturday. Residents in the Santa Mariedda district had reported a man assaulting people on the street.
The individual, identified as 57-year-old Gianpaolo Demartis, originally from Bultei and residing between Sassari and Olbia, was subdued using a Taser during the intervention. He subsequently suffered cardiac arrest and died in the ambulance while being transported to hospital.
Tempio Pausania Prosecutor Gregorio Capasso formally registered the officers as suspects. This procedural step follows the opening of a case file and the decision to conduct an autopsy on the victim’s body.
