The alleged killers of Luca Attanasio , the Italian ambassador killed in Goma on 22 February last year together with the carabiniere Vittorio Iacovacci and the driver Mustapha Milambo, were arrested by the Congolese police. These are six people who are part of different criminal gangs.

In particular, “Aspirant”, the head of the gang specializing in kidnappings, who has not been captured and is still on the run, would have fired. Although, explained police commander Aba Van Ang, "we know where he is".

From what emerged, the plan was to kidnap Attanasio and then ask for a ransom equal to at least one million dollars. But when the ambassador was killed the project failed.

The other arrested belong to the Bahari and Balume groups, held responsible for various murders and attacks for the purpose of robbery.
