Strict liability review after fresh cop slap video

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 18 - A fresh, second video of a Modena police officer apparently slapping a man after arresting him has resulted in the officer being subjected to a strict liability review, police sources said after the video, which dates to a year ago, was published on Monday after the first one on March 13.
    "A rigorous examination of disciplinary responsibilities was immediately started against the officer", said the General Command of the Carabinieri after the publication of the new video in which a man stopped by a patrol is apparently slapped by the same Carabiniere from Modena who had already been filmed in a similar circumstance.
    The general command has "only now" become aware of the incident and the video dates back to a year ago.
    "Also in this case - continues the Carabinieri - as soon as the video became known, it was promptly transmitted to the judicial authority". (ANSA).
