Italian police arrest multiple suspects with illegal firearms

Carabinieri in Calabria arrested a 33‑year‑old who broke into his former partner's home armed with a pistol and knives, securing the victim and seizing the weapons. In a separate operation in Niscemi, a 32‑year‑old was detained after a semiautomatic Beretta with an abrasa serial number and 152 rounds of ammunition were found concealed in his car. In Palermo, an 81‑year‑old was captured following a courtroom‑style hostage incident in a lawyer’s office, during which he brandished a pistol and was later found with additional ammunition. The arrests, all conducted by the Carabinieri, demonstrate a coordinated crackdown on illicit weapon possession and related violent crimes across southern Italy.
