Two New York police detectives, including one who is part of Mayor Eric Adams' security detail, are under investigation for alleged ties to the case of Italian Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan, who was tortured in New York.
The New York Post reports. The mayor's staff confirmed their "suspension" and said they were "troubled" by the allegations. "Every city employee is required to follow the law, including officers. We are troubled by the allegations and, as soon as we learned of them, we put them on minimum shifts," Adams' staff said.
The Italian woman involved is defending herself: "It's all a misunderstanding," Beatrice Folchi told some of her acquaintances from Latina, where she is originally from. The girl was initially stopped by the New York police along with John Woeltz, the attacking trader, but the prosecutor decided not to pursue charges while the investigation continues. For now, the only person in prison is Woeltz, the cryptocurrency trader who wanted the passwords to Michael Valentino Teofrasto Carturan's Bitcoin accounts and tortured him unsuccessfully to try to obtain them.
