In Treviolo, Bergamo, a violent incident unfolded when a hostile confrontation escalated into an ambush against the Italian rapper Simba la Rue on June 16. The investigation intensified as another arrest was made on a Saturday afternoon at Malpensa airport, where Italian authorities detained a suspect after he disembarked from a flight that originated in Ibiza, where he had been vacationing for a few days.
The individual taken into custody is Samir Benskar, a man in his twenties, born in Italy and residing in Padua. He is identified as being of North African descent, a rapper with a noted interest in boxing, and an associate of the rapper Baby Touché. Reports suggest that Benskar may have played a role in organizing the attack on Simba la Rue, with four other alleged accomplices previously detained in Ibiza alongside Touché, during the period surrounding the alleged plot.

The feud between the La Rue camp and Touché’s circle traces back to longstanding tensions. Early in June, Touché’s faction reportedly kidnapped Simba la Rue, an act that led to legal action against members of La Rue’s group. In response, Touché’s faction is said to have sought a moment to strike, aiming to harm La Rue with knowledge of his movements and plans so they could carry out the attack at a vulnerable moment.
One figure described as a key element of the information chain and now alleged to be the instigator of the stabbing is Barbara Boscalia, known in the industry as Bibi Sinti. Reports indicate that communications between Boscalia and one of the assailants exist, underscoring her alleged involvement in directing the course of events. The lingering questions concern how the information was obtained, who accessed it, and how it influenced the timing and location of the attack.
After a brief period in Ibiza, Samir Benskar became the fifth person detained by Italian authorities in connection with the stabbing of Simba la Rue, a case that has been framed within the broader operation known as King Lion, as reported by regional outlets following the arrests.
