Accused CEO killer Luigi Mangione is expected to face federal charges in the coming days — on top of the first-degree New York state murder charge he was hit with Tuesday, according to law enforcement sources.
Sources told The Post federal prosecutors have secured an indictment from a grand jury against the 26-year-old, who allegedly gunned down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on a midtown Manhattan street on Dec. 4.
It’s unclear when the indictment or charges from the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York against Mangione will be unsealed. The incoming federal charges against him were also not immediately known.
Mangione was slapped with an upgraded first-degree rap by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office on Tuesday to go along with the two second-degree murder counts he’s facing.
He has denied carrying out the high-profile slaying.
Mangione was captured days after the slaying in Pennsylvania following what Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called a “well-planned targeted murder.”
While the Ivy Leaguer is currently in custody in the Keystone State, he is expected to waive extradition and be hauled back to the Big Apple on Thursday.
The Manhattan US Attorney’s Office declined comment. The Post has sought comment from Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman-Agnifilio, and the Manhattan DA’s Office.
If he’s convicted of the state first-degree murder charge, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
