US prosecutors will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of shooting dead UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement on Tuesday that she had directed federal prosecutors to seek capital punishment for the "premeditated, cold-blooded assassination".

The move is a dramatic escalation in a high-profile case that has gripped the nation, with Mangione drawing acclaim from some people with anti-capitalist views or aggrieved at the country's sometimes costly or capricious healthcare system.

美國檢方將尋求對路易吉·曼吉奧內判處死刑，此人被指控于去年12月槍殺了聯合健康保險公司首席執行官布萊恩·湯普森。

美國總檢察長帕姆·邦迪周二在一份聲明中表示，她已指示聯邦檢察官對這起“蓄意、冷血的暗殺”尋求最高刑罰判決。

這一舉措使這起備受矚目的案件急劇升級。在這起案件中，曼吉奧內得到了一些人的支持，他們大多反對資本主義，或是對美國昂貴且無常的醫療保健體系滿。
