Clashes in Askatasuna, prosecutor requests 4 years for the first defendant

The Turin prosecutor has requested a four-year prison sentence for a 22-year-old involved in violent clashes during a pro-Askatasuna demonstration on January 31. The young man, arrested under delayed flagrance, is accused of being part of a group that attacked a police officer, although he did not directly participate in the violence. This case is separate from a larger investigation that led to 16 precautionary measures against other individuals involved. Minister Paolo Zangrillo condemned the violence, describing the events as a planned criminal guerrilla against law enforcement, and criticized the reactions from Askatasuna supporters as shameful.
