Municipality of Ferrara launches 'Anti-Maranza Unit'

Ferrara has launched the "NAM" (Anti-Maranza Unit) to address youth crime linked to disaffected second-generation Italians. Mayor Alan Fabbri announced this initiative as a nationwide first, aiming to involve various professionals in prevention and enforcement. The move follows recent riots in Milan and aims to reassure concerned families and businesses. The unit will monitor and enforce measures against the so-called maranzas, who have been involved in street violence.
