Must ReadItalian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has called for a thorough investigation into the death of Abderrahim Fakir, a 42-year-old Moroccan man who died in Bologna after being pinned to the ground during an arrest. Meloni stated that "the truth must be sought to the end, without prejudice or complacency for anyone," while also condemning the violence that erupted during a protest in Bologna. The prosecutor of Bologna has opened an inquiry into Fakir's death, which occurred after he was held in a prone position for several minutes. The investigation targets two police officers and four paramedics. Footage from a resident reportedly shows Fakir calling for help while being restrained by officers, with paramedics present. He later appeared unresponsive. Police reported they intervened after residents reported a man in a "violent rage." A protest in central Bologna on Monday evening drew thousands, resulting in 64 police officers and eleven demonstrators being injured. Further demonstrations are planned in other Italian cities. Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi urged waiting for the investigation's conclusions, asserting that "no one is above the law."
Ittihad Riadi de Tanger IR Tanger, a club in Morocco's top football league, Botola Pro, has officially announced the signing of Senegalese forward Ibrahima Dieng, known as "Pauleta." Dieng, who is 20 years old and will turn 21 on August 31, 2005, joins from AS Pikine. He earned the nickname "Pauleta" early in his career in Senegal due to his goal-scoring ability, reminiscent of the former Portuguese international.

Scouts describe him as a mobile and athletic player with a strong pressing sense and a keen goal-scoring instinct. Dieng joins a growing Senegalese contingent at IR Tanger, which includes 20-year-old forward Papa Magueye Gueye, who joined in August 2025 and has become a regular starter, and Moussa Koté, also from Senegal.
