In the USA, they demanded the death penalty for the accused in the murder of the head of UnitedHealthcare

Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering the CEO of one of the largest American insurance companies UnitedHealthcare, faces the death penalty. This was reported on April 1 by ABC TV channel with reference to the US Attorney General Pama Bondi.

"After careful consideration, I have instructed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we implement U.S. President Donald Trump's agenda to end violent crime and keep America safe," Bondi said.

Mangione's lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, called the decision to seek the death penalty "political" and said it "goes against the recommendation of local federal prosecutors, the law and historical precedent."
