Alleged Milan rioting 'mastermind' uses right to remain silent before judge

Youssef Siher, a 30-year-old Italian researcher, is accused of orchestrating riots in Milan on October 17. He exercised his right to remain silent during questioning. Siher allegedly created the "October 17 Movement" social media channels linked to the unrest and faces charges of incitement to commit a crime with terrorism as an aggravating factor. His wife is also under investigation. A judge will decide on his custody based on flight risk and potential reoffending. Prosecutors argue Siher has the technical skills to devise a revolutionary strategy, while his lawyers claim he did nothing illegal and deny any incitement to violence.
