Four adults jailed for Milan unrest; minors placed in community care
Four adults arrested for Saturday's clashes, devastation, and looting in central Milan remain in jail, a fifth is under house arrest with electronic monitoring, and 11 minors have been placed in community care or under parental supervision. Charges include aggravated devastation, looting, and resistance. Judge Fabrizio Filice described a "precise project to destabilize public order" in his orders against the five men aged 18-24, noting the protest over living costs degenerated into urban guerrilla warfare. Investigations are ongoing into the "Italia in piazza" and "Movimento 17 ottobre" accounts, with one suspect citing TikTok videos and family financial stress. The CGIL union has called a rally for Wednesday outside La Scala and Palazzo Marino, condemning the violence. Mayor Giuseppe Sala stated the arrival of 500 soldiers means the issue "cannot only be a matter of repression."
