3 Police Officials Are Reassigned After Riots
Three Italian law enforcement officials were transferred from their posts in the first action taken against police after last month’s violence-marred Group of 8 summit in Genoa.
The deputy police chief in charge of supervising security at the summit, the head of the anti-terrorism department and the police superintendent of Genoa all were transferred. Their new posts were not announced.
Police shot and killed a 23-year-old demonstrator during the riots that overwhelmed Genoa during the summit. More than 200 people were injured, and 280 were arrested.
