The family of Godzi, the Italian DJ who died in Ibiza, reports to the Civil Guard: "They punched him and left him to die."

PalmThe death in Ibiza of Italian DJ Michele Noschese, known as Godzi, has caused shock in Italy, after his father filed a formal complaint in Spain accusing Civil Guard officers of homicide. The 35-year-old artist from Naples (southern Italy) died early Saturday morning on the Balearic island, where he had lived for a decade, due to cardiac arrest.

According to witness statements reported by Italian media, the night Noschese died, officers went to his home after receiving noise complaints from a party, which led to an alleged confrontation between the partygoers and the armed forces officers.

The family has filed a complaint with the Spanish courts and the Naples Prosecutor's Office requesting that "the Spanish officers be investigated for voluntary homicide," according to the Italian newspaper. the Republic"My son died while he was in the custody of the Spanish police," Giuseppe Noschese told the same newspaper.

The victim's father also explained that people present at the party told him that his son was beaten to death by the police for no reason. He had to be carried out of the house in his arms because he was unconscious, and taken directly to the morgue. According to his account, the DJ was punched three times, twice in the face and once in the back, and "was not taken to a hospital, but directly to the morgue."

Noschese, a graduate in economics, left behind a promising career as a professional footballer, after playing for teams such as Napoli's youth team and Empoli, to dedicate himself to electronic music and become an internationally recognized artist in the techno scene.

The investigation into Noschese's death remains open in Spain, while Italian diplomatic authorities are closely monitoring the case. MEP Fulvio Martusciello of Forza Italia demanded clarification: "We want the truth about Michele Noschese's death. The sudden death of a well-known and beloved young Neapolitan, an internationally renowned DJ, cannot be left in the shadows."

The Civil Guard accuses the young man of threatening an elderly man with a knife.

The armed forces have issued a statement stating that officers went to the elderly DJ's home after receiving a report of threats. When they arrived, they saw that the DJ was drugged and suffering from hallucinations. He was also holding a knife, which he was using to threaten his elderly neighbor.

When officers attempted to restrain him, he began convulsing, collapsed, and lost vital signs. At that moment, the Civil Guard notified the emergency services and attempted to revive him while medical personnel arrived. Neither the officers nor the doctors were able to revive him, and his death was certified shortly after.

This version completely contradicts that of the family and denies the existence of any assault by the officers or the presence of the witnesses mentioned by the family in the complaint filed.
