Arrested in Milan the alleged mastermind of the youth protests in Italy

A political scientist of Moroccan descent was arrested in Milan for allegedly inciting youth protests in Italy. Cities were heavily policed to prevent disturbances similar to those from the previous weekend. Despite fears, protests were fewer than expected, attributed to proactive police measures. Authorities monitored social media to track potential organizers. Youssef Siher, a 30-year-old freelance journalist, is considered the mastermind behind the 'October 17 Movement' and is under investigation for incitement. The Interior Minister announced that the state would respond swiftly to any violent actions planned through social media.
