After the murder of a head of insurance in the middle of Manhattan, the alleged perpetrator Luigi M. was also officially charged at the US level.

Among other things, he would be accused of murder, stalking and offenses related to weapons. This could threaten the death penalty – as US Justice Minister Pam Bondi had already demanded about two weeks ago. Luigi M. has already been charged at the federal level and has not pleaded guilty.

The 26-year-old M. is said to have shot the head of the billion-dollar US health insurer Unitedhealth, Brian Thompson, specifically on a street in the New York district of Manhattan. Insurance chief Thompson had been shot down close to his injuries near Times Square on the morning of December 4 near Times Square and died in a hospital. The act filmed by surveillance cameras and the public search made headlines worldwide.

The shooter initially fled on a bike and then disappeared. Five days later, he was recognized and arrested in a fast food restaurant in the city of Altoona in the US state of Pennsylvania. After the crime, there had been an unusually large amount of sympathy for the alleged shooter in the United States. Millions of Americans despair of their country’s expensive health system. On the NYSE, the UnitedHealth share loses 2.69 percent to $ 441.89.
