Italian newspapers published a photo of a bound and blindfolded American teenager accused of killing an Italian police officer, rocking the murder case and sparking a police probe of their own officers’ actions.
Front pages of Italian newspapers carried the photo, which shows Gabriel Christian Natale Hjorth, 18, sitting in an office chair, his hands bound behind him and a blue cloth tied around his slumped head, covering his eyes. Two uniformed police officers stand near the teenager, who is wearing shorts and a blue-and-white striped collared dress shirt.
