October 17 Movement, Siher accused of terrorism. Telegram empties out, the hypothesis of chats on Signal

The investigation into the October 17 Movement in Milan has reached a critical stage with the detention of Youssef Siher, accused of terrorism. The public prosecutor will seek validation of his detention, while the movement's Telegram channel has become inactive. However, new discussions may be emerging on Signal, a secure messaging platform. Siher, a second-generation Italian of Moroccan descent, faces serious charges including incitement to crime and organized violence. His wife, a Lebanese intercultural mediator, is also under investigation. The legal proceedings will determine the legitimacy of the accusations, as mere participation in a protest movement does not equate to terrorism. The situation remains fluid, with potential new communication channels forming among supporters.
