A 13-year-old boy in Italy has been cleared of criminal responsibility after a statue he allegedly threw from a balcony fatally struck a woman. The victim, Chiara Jaconis, died two days later from traumatic brain injuries.

Armed robbers held 25 people hostage during a daylight bank heist in Naples before escaping through a tunnel, with authorities searching sewers for clues. The incident ended with no serious injuries after a police standoff.

Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna says Rasmus Hojlund will stay at the club regardless of whether they qualify for the Champions League, which would trigger an obligation to buy him from Manchester United. Hojlund joined Napoli on loan last summer with an option to make the transfer permanent.

Scott McTominay's move from Manchester United to Napoli in summer 2024 has yielded immediate success, with the midfielder earning cult-hero status and Serie A Player of the Year honors in his debut season. His impact has drawn high praise from Diego Maradona's son, who compared him to his legendary father.
