Police, over 150 searches between Milan and Monza and in another 20 cities. Investigations into the October 17 Movement

Police conducted over 150 searches across Milan, Monza, and 20 other cities as part of an investigation into the October 17 protests. The inquiry focuses on violence and looting that occurred during the demonstration against rising living costs. Investigators are examining Telegram messages from the October 17 Movement, which indicated efforts to erase evidence of their activities. The protest, initially peaceful, escalated into violence in central Milan, with clashes involving police and vandalism of property. Authorities responded with water cannons and tear gas, leading to the arrest of around fifty individuals, many of whom were minors.
