The day's editorial focus shifted decisively to the autopsy of Abderrahim Fakir, the 42-year-old who died in Bologna during a police stop. Morning headlines reported the procedure was underway, with a CT scan revealing blood-filled lungs. By afternoon, the six-hour autopsy concluded, with the family's lawyer citing 'asphyxia from compression' while police defenders insisted on 'no violent action.' This forensic ambiguity fueled competing narratives across outlets: center-left papers highlighted the compression hypothesis, while right-leaning sources amplified Interior Minister Piantedosi's defense of police conduct and bodycam deployment. International tensions provided a secondary drumbeat. US-Iran hostilities escalated with raids near Erbil and Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers, while Trump's 'revenge mode' and new tariffs on 60 countries—including the EU—dominated financial and geopolitical coverage. The WSJ's characterization of Trump's mindset was widely cited. Domestically, the government's 'anti-maranza' decree lowering criminal responsibility to 14 continued to draw legal and political criticism. By evening, the Meloni-Giorgetti summit on fuel prices, with talk of mobile excise duties, signaled a shift toward economic concerns. The national football team saga ended with Guardiola's refusal and Pirlo's appointment.
