Italian Carabinieri Detain Suspects in Separate Gun‑Related Incidents

In Sardinia, Carabinieri from the Olbia Territorial Unit placed a 41‑year‑old man from Sassari in custody after he allegedly shot a young man in the leg during a fight in Cannigione. Investigators linked the injury to a .357 Magnum revolver seized at the scene. The precautionary measure was ordered by the judge of the Tempio Pausania Tribunal at the prosecutor’s request.

In Campania, Carabinieri from the Cercola Brigade executed a court order to detain a minor who fled police control while driving a car on 19 June. The youth was suspected of illegal possession and trafficking of a 7.65 mm semi‑automatic pistol that was thrown from the vehicle during the chase. He was placed in a juvenile detention facility in Nisida following the prosecutor’s request.

Both cases illustrate ongoing police investigations into illegal firearms and related offences in Italy.
