Officer permanently banned from carrying weapons after shocking negligence and crime ties
A police officer, identified only as Tizio, has lost his right to carry weapons after a series of serious breaches. Authorities discovered a counterfeit traffic control device and an unattended weapons at his home. The Council of State later upheld a ban on his possession of all weapons and ammunition, citing extreme negligence and criminal ties.
The case began when investigators found Tizio’s loaded service weapons left unsecured at his residence. The weapons remained in its holster with a full magazine, yet its storage violated protocol. Around the same time, a fake traffic control device was also seized from his property.
Tizio attempted to challenge the ban by claiming he had never received formal notice of the administrative proceedings. He further argued that police-issued weapons did not require the same strict custody as private weapons. However, the Council of State dismissed these claims, stating that the urgency of the situation justified immediate action. The ruling also highlighted Tizio’s family connections to organised crime figures in the region. According to the Council, proven kinship with convicted criminals automatically disqualifies an individual from holding weapons, regardless of other circumstances. Additionally, the judges clarified that assessments of unreliability do not depend on the outcomes of separate criminal trials. In its final decision, the Council deemed Tizio’s conduct as demonstrating absolute negligence in safeguarding his weapons. The ban on his possession of weapons and ammunition was upheld without exception.
The ruling permanently bars Tizio from owning or carrying any weapons. His failure to secure a loaded service weapons, combined with his criminal associations, led to the irreversible decision. Authorities have not disclosed whether further disciplinary or criminal actions will follow.
