Faker case: Forensic findings of blood in lungs

The article addresses the case of the death of Moroccan citizen Abdel Rahim Faqir (42 years old) in the city of Bologna, Italy. The incident has sparked a wave of legal and political controversy following the emergence of a new video showing moments after the police intervention. The footage depicts Faqir’s body lying down with a large pool of blood on his head, as well as bloodstains on his face indicating he was subjected to strong blows before his death. These findings are consistent with the autopsy results, which revealed blood inside the lungs and signs of severe pressure on the chest. The family’s lawyer rejects the police’s explanations that link the death to cocaine use, asserting that the blood in the lungs is the result of physical assault. Conversely, the police defense denies these claims, considering that Faqir injured himself while resisting arrest. Legal experts criticize the continued pressure applied to the victim for nearly five minutes despite his calls for help and call for a review of law enforcement’s procedures in restraining and arresting individuals. On the judicial level, the prosecutor’s office is investigating two police officers and paramedics on charges of involuntary manslaughter. There are widespread calls for a thorough investigation and a review of security policies. Meanwhile, protests have erupted in Bologna, accompanied by security measures to protect officials, following an increase in racist threats and insults directed through social media.
