An expert appointed by the State
attorney's office in Milan probing the death of Ramy Elgaml, a
19-year-old who died on November 24 while being chased by
Carabinieri police, said a video filmed by a witness with his
phone has been cancelled and can't be retrieved, investigative
sources said Monday.
The video filmed by a witness when the scooter driven by Ramy's
friend, Fares Bousidi, 22, crashed was cancelled, according to
the report signed by Marco Tinti, the expert witness appointed
by prosecutors to determine whether the phone had been tampered
with, the sources said.
Investigators are in possession of footage showing the
Carabinieri officers involved in the chase as they approach a
youth who appears to filming the scene of the accident and
apparently order him to erase it, according to investigative
sources.
In his report, Tinti said he found evidence on the cell phone
that the video's frames had been cancelled, the same sources
explained.
