Luigi Mangione从格鲁吉亚来到据称跟踪并杀死联合医疗集团首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森并表示，他将医疗保健行业作为目标，因为“它检查了每一个箱子”——根据联邦刑事诉讼，嫌疑人在厚颜无耻的犯罪发生前几周讨论阴谋的笔记本中的许多条目之一。
曼乔内周四受到四项联邦指控，包括跟踪，涉及消音器的枪支犯罪和使用枪支杀人，这一指控使他有资格被判处死刑。
这份联邦诉状包含了警方称从曼乔内那里缴获的笔记本中此前未公开的摘录。当局表示，这些文章“表达了对医疗保险行业，尤其是富裕高管的敌意。”
根据诉状，一个标记为2024年8月15日的条目说，“细节终于走到一起了，”而且，“我很高兴——在某种程度上——我已经拖延了，BC[因为]它让我了解了更多关于[公司-1的首字母缩写]。”
在一个标有2024年10月22日的条目中，文字写道，“1.5个月。这次投资者会议是一次真正的意外收获...最重要的是，这个信息变得不言自明。”
诉状称，在条目的后面，页面描述了在投资者会议上“搞垮”一家保险公司首席执行官的意图。
曼乔内周四上午放弃引渡，并通过飞机和直升机从宾夕法尼亚州被运送到纽约。
当曼乔内抵达曼哈顿时，纽约市长埃里克·亚当斯和NYPD警察局长杰西卡·蒂施正在等候。
曼乔内于周四下午在曼哈顿下城的联邦法院首次出庭，并回答了法官的几个问题。曼乔内穿着斜纹棉布裤、白色衬衫和黑色四分之一拉链毛衣，在被告席上显得温顺而表情严肃。他没有提出抗辩。
曼乔内的纽约律师卡伦·弗里德曼·阿格尼菲洛说，她的当事人准备在州法院出庭，并抱怨联邦指控突然降临到他们头上。
阿格尼菲洛说:“我们发现自己处于一种非常不寻常的境地。“我从来没有见过这样的事情。”
她说，这两起案件的理论似乎是相互冲突的，她指出，州案件指控曼乔内恐吓一群人，而联邦案件指控他跟踪一个人。
法官让双方当事人协商。
曼乔内的下一次出庭日期是1月18日。
曼乔内将被还押到MDC布鲁克林监狱，也就是肖恩“吹牛老爹”库姆斯目前被关押的联邦拘留所。
联邦指控可能使曼乔内有资格被判死刑。如果被判有罪，他将面临最高无期徒刑，不得假释。
曼哈顿地方检察官·阿尔文·布拉格的发言人丹妮尔·菲尔森(Danielle Filson)本周表示，“州案件将与任何联邦案件平行进行。”
曼乔内周四上午首次在宾夕法尼亚州布莱尔县出庭，并同意被引渡到纽约。
法官向曼乔内宣读他的权利时，他站在那里。这位常青藤毕业生在被问及是否理解时回答“是”，在被问及是否想放弃引渡时回答“是”。
当曼乔内被带进法庭时，观众聚集在布莱尔县法院外面。
一个人举着一个牌子，上面写着“否认，辩护，罢免”呼应写下的文字在谋杀现场的弹壳和子弹上。
亚当·吉泽曼(Adam Giesseman)举着一个牌子，上面写着“释放路易吉”和“为盈利而杀人是恐怖主义”，他告诉美国广播公司新闻，“我们的国家已经崩溃了。”
另一个等待的观众，只给出了她的名字，娜塔莉，表达了对保险系统“为人们的健康谋利”的不满。
“发生这种事很不幸，我不会以任何方式美化它——但它引起了对影响所有美国人的问题的关注，”她说。
26岁的曼乔内被指控于12月4日在希尔顿酒店外枪杀汤普森，当时这位联合医疗保健公司的首席执行官正前往参加一个投资者会议。检察官称曼乔内等了汤普森将近一个小时。
检察官周二宣布，曼哈顿大陪审团将对曼乔内的指控升级为一级谋杀，以推进恐怖主义。
布拉格说，发生在曼哈顿市中心的这起谋杀案“旨在唤起人们的恐惧”。
在纽约，曼乔内还被控两项二级谋杀罪，其中一项被控作为恐怖主义行为杀人;两项二级非法持有武器罪;四项三级非法持有武器罪;一项四级非法持有武器罪;以及一项二级非法持有伪造文书的指控。
在宾夕法尼亚州，曼乔内在逃亡近一周后于12月9日被捕，他面临的指控包括涉嫌持有一支无法追踪的幽灵枪。检察官说，被捕时，曼乔内有一把9毫米手枪，带3D打印接收器，自制消音器，两个弹匣和实弹。
曼乔内在宾夕法尼亚州的案子将继续有效;布莱尔县地方检察官彼得·威克斯(Peter Weeks)周四表示，在纽约对他的审判结束后，检察官将决定如何进行。
曼乔内在宾夕法尼亚州的下一次听证会定于2月24日。Weeks说，鉴于让曼乔内返回宾夕法尼亚州亲自参加听证会不切实际，听证会可能会被推迟或以远程变焦的方式进行。
UnitedHealthcare CEO killing latest: Luigi Mangione faces federal charges including stalking, murder
Luigi Mangione traveled from Georgia to allegedlystalk and kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompsonand said he targeted the health care industry because "it checked every box" -- one of a number of entries in a notebook in which the suspect discussed the plot in the weeks before the brazen crime, according to a federal criminal complaint.
Mangione was hit with four federal charges Thursday, including stalking, a firearms offense involving a silencer and murder through use of a firearm, a charge that makes him eligible for the death penalty.
The federal complaint contains previously unreleased excerpts from the notebook that police said they seized from Mangione. Authorities said the writings "express hostility towards the health insurance industry and wealthy executives in particular."
According to the complaint, an entry marked Aug. 15, 2024, said "the details are finally coming together," and, "I'm glad -- in a way -- that I've procrastinated, bc [because] it allowed me to learn more about [acronym for Company-1]."
In an entry marked Oct. 22, 2024, the writings said, "1.5 months. This investor conference is a true windfall ... and -- most importantly -- the message becomes self evident."
Later on in the entry, the pages describe an intent to "wack" the CEO of one of the insurance companies at its investor conference, the complaint said.
Mangione waived extradition on Thursday morning and was transported via plane and helicopter from Pennsylvania to New York.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams and NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch were waiting when Mangione arrived in Manhattan.
Mangione made his initial appearance in federal court in lower Manhattan on Thursday afternoon and answered "yes" to several questions by the judge. Mangione, wearing chinos, a white shirt and black quarter-zip sweater, appeared docile and stone-faced at the defense table. He did not enter a plea.
Mangione's New York lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, said her client was prepared to appear in state court and complained the federal charges were sprung on them.
"This is a highly unusual situation we find ourselves in," Agnifilo said. "I have never seen anything like that."
She said the theories of the two cases appear to be in conflict, noting the state case accused Mangione of terrorizing a group of people while the federal case accused him of stalking an individual.
The judge told the parties to confer.
Mangione’s next court date is Jan. 18.
Mangione will be remanded into custody at MDC Brooklyn, the same federal lockup where Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently jailed.
The federal charges could make Mangione eligible for the death penalty. He faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted of the state charges.
Danielle Filson, a spokesperson for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, said this week that "the state case will proceed in parallel with any federal case."
Mangione first appeared in court in Blair County, Pennsylvania, on Thursday morning and agreed to be extradited to New York.
Mangione stood as the judge read him his rights. The Ivy League graduate answered "yes" when asked if he understood and answered "yes" when asked if he wanted to waive extradition.
Spectators gathered outside the Blair County courthouse as Mangione was taken inside.
One person held a sign reading "Deny, Defend, Depose,"echoing the words writtenon shell casings and a bullet at the murder scene.
Adam Giesseman, who had a sign that said "Free Luigi" and "Murder for Profit is Terrorism," told ABC News, "Our country is broken."
Another waiting spectator, who only gave her first name, Natalie, voiced frustration that the insurance system is "set up for profit over people's health."
"It's unfortunate that this happened, and I'm not glorifying it in any way -- but it's brought attention to the issue that affects all Americans," she said.
Mangione, 26, is accused of gunning down Thompson outside a Hilton hotel on Dec. 4 as the UnitedHealthcare CEO headed to an investors conference. Prosecutors alleged Mangione waited nearly an hour for Thompson to arrive.
A Manhattan grand jury upgraded charges against Mangione to include first-degree murder in furtherance of terrorism, prosecutors announced Tuesday.
The killing in the heart of Midtown Manhattan was "intended to evoke terror," Bragg said.
In New York, Mangione is also charged with two counts of second-degree murder, one of which is charged as killing as an act of terrorism; two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree; four counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree; one count of criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree; and one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument in the second degree.
In Pennsylvania, where Mangione was arrested on Dec. 9 after nearly a week on the run, he faces charges including allegedly possessing an untraceable ghost gun. Mangione had a 9 mm handgun with a 3D-printed receiver, a homemade silencer, two ammunition magazines and live cartridges when apprehended, prosecutors said.
Mangione's case in Pennsylvania will be kept active; at the conclusion of his trial in New York, prosecutors would determine how to proceed, Blair County District Attorney Peter Weeks said on Thursday.
Mangione's next hearing in Pennsylvania is scheduled for Feb. 24. This hearing may get postponed or be conducted as a remote Zoom appearance given the impracticality of returning Mangione to Pennsylvania for an in-person hearing, Weeks said.
