Italian police identified an 11-year-old looter – they caught him based on TikTok videos

The Italian Carabinieri identified two minors involved in theft during the recent Milan riots. An 11-year-old boy was caught on video stealing a belt from a looted store, while a 16-year-old was filmed wearing a stolen police cap. The younger boy cannot be prosecuted due to Italian law, but his case will be reported to social services. Following the riots, the Italian government announced new measures to prevent violence, criminalizing participation in violent protests, with penalties including up to five years in prison and fines.
