Italian police address multiple safety violations and traffic incidents

In Terracina, a 40‑year‑old restaurant owner was detained after reopening his eatery despite a closure order for serious health violations, prompting a criminal complaint by the Carabinieri.

On the SS16 highway, two separate collisions near Molfetta on July 13 caused traffic standstill, while a later incident between Trani and Bisceglie produced five‑kilometre queues. Another crash in Bisceglie’s Via Imbriani involved a car and a motorcycle, injuring the rider.

Law enforcement actions included the arrest of a 32‑year‑old Albanian suspect identified through DNA after a string of home burglaries in Monte Roberto and Castelbellino, and the sanction of a supermarket cashier in Senigallia for selling alcohol to a 17‑year‑old without age verification.

In Ostia, a carabinieri officer was bitten by a dog during a dispute, leading to the owner’s prosecution. A similar dog‑attack episode in Ferrara resulted in the arrest of a repeat offender after his large dogs mauled a police officer and a passerby.

In Macerata, a 52‑year‑old man was assaulted by three thieves attempting to steal his electric bicycle, sustaining facial injuries. Meanwhile, Carabinieri inspections of lodging facilities in Messina uncovered safety breaches, prompting fines exceeding €96,000 and criminal charges for the proprietors.
