Turin, minor reported after disorder: gun and weapons found

Weapons found after social media identification

According to poliziadistato.it, the Digos conducted 50 searches across eleven Italian cities to identify people involved in the street disturbances that occurred on 17, 18 and 24 October, as well as individuals who posted incitement messages on social media platforms. The operations involved Bologna, Florence, Imperia, Lodi, Milan, Monza, Novara, Reggio Calabria, Turin, Varese and Verona.

In Turin, monitoring of the internet by the Digos made it possible to identify a minor who had actively participated in the disturbances of 17 October, which escalated into violent actions with property damage. The young person had published images and videos of the tensions that occurred during the demonstration on a social media profile linked to him.

The subsequent search authorised by the judicial authority led to the discovery of a pellet gun without a red cap, ten blank cartridges, ten knives, a machete, a modified metal tube of the baton type and four emergency window hammers. The minor was reported for aggravated resistance to a public official and masking. The judicial police operations also involved searches of other minors.
