Acusan en Nueva York al sospechoso del asesinato del director ejecutivo de una aseguradora

By Ninian Carter

December 10, 2024 - Tras una prolongada persecución policial, un hombre de 26 años ha sido arrestado y acusado del asesinato, en la Ciudad de Nueva York, del director ejecutivo de la aseguradora UnitedHealthcare Brian Thompson

Luigi Mangione, 26, has been charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, 50, in New York City on the morning of December 4.

Thompson was fatally shot in the back outside the Hilton Midtown hotel in Manhattan, where the medical insurance giant was holding an investors' meeting.

At the crime scene, police found shell casings with the words “deny", “defend” and “depose” written on them – similar to the title of a book that criticises health insurance companies.

Mangione was arrested and taken into custody at a McDonald’s fast food outlet in the town of Altoona, Pennsylvania, on December 9 after a customer recognised him.

According to police, the Ivy League graduate from a prominent and wealthy Maryland family, was found in possession of a gun, silencer and handwritten three-page document expressing “ill will” towards corporate America.

The shooting triggered a huge manhunt, with the NYPD using one of the world’s largest digital surveillance systems to search for the fugitive.
