Prosecutors have instructed to seek death penalty against the death of the death of Unitedhealthcare, Luigi Mangione

NEW YORK (AP) – US Attorney Pam Bondi said on Tuesday that she had instructed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of abandoning the CEO of the Unitedhealthcare, December 26, 26, on December 4. The federal charges include murder through the use of a firearm, which bears the possibility of the death penalty. The state charges have a maximum penalty for the imprisonment. Prosecutors said the two cases would continue on parallel traces, with the state charges expected to be tried. It was not immediately clear whether the announcement of Bondi’s death penalty will change the order of how the cases are being heard. “Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson-an innocent man and father of two young children was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America,” Bondi said in a statement. “After thorough consideration, I have instructed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case, as we perform President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and make America safe again.” A message commenting was left for a spokesman for Mangione’s attorneys. Mangions pleaded not guilty to a state cost and did not enter into a plea for federal charges. President Donald Trump, who at the end of his first term oversee an unprecedented execution of execution, signed an executive order on his first day in office on January 20, forcing the Justice Department to ask the death penalty in the federal affairs where applicable. His predecessor, Joe Biden, issued a moratorium on federal executions. Thompson, 50, was ambushed on a porch as he walked to an investor conference in a hotel in Midtown Manhattan. Mangione was arrested on December 9 while ate breakfast at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. According to police, he wore a gun that matched the one used in the shooting and a false ID. He also wore a notebook that expresses hostility to the health insurance industry and especially wealthy managers, the authorities said. UnitedHealthcare is the largest health insurer in the US, although the company said mangions were never a customer. Among the entries in the notebook, according to prosecutors, was one from August 2024 which says “The target is insurance” because “it looks every box” and one from October that describes an intention to “watch” a CEO of insurance company.
