“I didn’t hear anything about that, but it would really surprise me because the family had a lot of means–or excuse me, has a lot of means,” Maronick said of the insurance issue. “Especially being involved in healthcare, owning retirement homes. So this is something where they wouldn’t have struggled to pay the bills.”
The Mangione family released a statement saying they are “devastated” by Luigi’s arrest. Maryland State Delegate Nino Mangione, Luigi’s cousin, echoed that in his own statement.
“Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione,” the Republican lawmaker said in a statement. “We only know what we have read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news.”
