# Luigi Mangione expected to plead guilty in federal case over CEO killing 2026-08-13T22:58:20+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Luigi Mangione is expected to plead guilty in federal court on Friday to charges of stalking and killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, sources told the Associated Press. Plea talks had broken down in June. Mangione faces two federal stalking counts; state murder charges are set for trial next month. A guilty plea could block the state case under New York’s double-jeopardy protections, though prosecutors have objected. Mangione, 28, ambushed Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel in December 2024. Evidence includes a 3D-printed pistol and a notebook describing intent to kill an insurance executive. The killing ignited debate over the US health insurance industry. An online fundraiser for Mangione’s defence has raised over $1.5 million. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com - thehindu.com Tags: Brian Thompson, guilty plea, health insurance debate, Luigi Mangione, UnitedHealthcare, US justice Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/luigi-mangione-expected-to-plead-guilty-in-ceo-killing-case/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
