Italy implements security decree following violent unrest

The Italian government has introduced a new security decree in response to widespread violent unrest, including significant clashes in Milan. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the destruction of property and looting, characterizing the actions as criminal rather than political protest. The new decree introduces a new criminal offense for participating in violent groups and seeks to expand the use of preventive arrests and video-based evidence for prosecutions.

Authorities have conducted searches across 18 Italian cities, identifying approximately 51 minors suspected of involvement in the clashes. Intelligence services, including the Agency for Internal Information and Security (AISI), are investigating whether the mobilization followed a specific organizational pattern, potentially utilizing social media and artificial intelligence-generated leaflets to incite protesters.

In the political sphere, Justice Minister Carlo Nordio has proposed expanding juvenile prison capacity to manage a surge in arrests among minors. This proposal has faced opposition from political figures such as Giuseppe Conte, who called for the minister's resignation. Security concerns remain high ahead of planned demonstrations in Milan, Turin, and Rome.
