October 17 Movement, Siher accused of terrorism: checks in Genoa on possible links with the Hamas network

Youssef Siher, a researcher, is accused of terrorism-related activities linked to the Movimento 17 ottobre protests in Milan. The Digos agency views him as the political mind behind the movement, which has gained significant traction on social media. Investigations are underway to explore potential connections between Siher and networks associated with Hamas funding, although he is not currently under investigation for that matter. The Milan prosecutor's office is seeking to validate his detention, citing incitement to commit crimes with terrorist intent. Siher's role involved directing a diverse protest movement through digital platforms, aiming to mobilize participants for organized violence.
