Alleged 'mastermind' of Milan rioting to appear in court

Youssef Siher, a 30-year-old Italian researcher, faces court for his alleged role in the violent riots in Milan on October 17. He is accused of inciting terrorism and is linked to a Telegram group promoting criminal acts. His wife is also under investigation. Prosecutors claim Siher aimed to instill terror through his actions. Investigations are ongoing regarding potential connections to a charity network funding Hamas and Russian hackers. Protests against war and economic issues occurred across Italy, with heightened security measures in place. Further protests are planned for Friday.
