Wife of Youssef Siher investigated over alleged role in 'Movimento 17 ottobre' pages

Youssef Siher's wife is also under investigation for incitement to crime with terrorism aggravations and organized violence at public demonstrations, allegedly co-administering the movement's social media channels. The 32-year-old Lebanese-origin woman remains free, unlike her detained husband. Investigators traced Siher on Saturday using her cellphone after his own was off. The couple, married in September, reportedly lives in Milan's province despite separate registered residences. Her lawyer attributes the differing treatment to her allegedly less central role and weaker evidence against her. The woman, a Como-born intercultural mediator who identifies as "Lebanese, Palestinian, and Arab," faces the same charges as her husband but without police custody. Legal experts note this distinction reflects judicial assessment of individual evidence and precautionary needs, not guilt or innocence determinations.
