Luigi Mangione will be prosecuted in the Federal Court of New York on Friday for an accusation of four positions for the murder of the CEO of United Healthcare Brian Thompson.
A Federal Grand Jury accused Mangione this month for four positions: murder through the use of a firearm, crime of firearms and two charges of harassment.
Its reading positions is scheduled for 1 PM on Friday at the Federal Court of Manhattan.
Mangione is accused of harassing Thompson out of Hilton in the center of Manhattan and then shooting him until death on December 4, 2024. Thompson was heading to an investor conference when he was shot dead.
The 26 -year -old was arrested in Altoona, Pennsylvania, five days later and was initially accused of a federal complaint in relation to the murder.

The murder position through the use of a firearm would be eligible for the death penalty if it is convicted.
Before the presentation of the accusation, the Attorney General Pam Bondi already pointed out his intention to follow the death penalty in the case.
Mangione lawyers are actively trying to prevent the government from looking for the death penalty if they are convicted, arguing that the Department of Justice made a “political, arbitrary and capricious” protocol violation.
Mangione also faces state charges in relation to the shooting. He declared himself innocent.
He is detained in federal custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
