The five suspects are accused of crimes including torture, bodily harm and abuse of office.
They had already been moved to new roles after investigators concluded a probe into the alleged brutality.
Verona Police Chief Roberto Massucci also moved some other officers from their roles because, although they were not accused of being involved in the allegedly violence, they may failed have to take action to prevent it or failed to report it.
“I thank the Verona prosecutors’ office for the trust given the State police by assigning its mobile squad with the investigation regarding officers from the same department,” national Chief of Police Vittorio Pisani said.
“The moral standing of our administration enables us to face this moment with the dignity and composure of always.”
