Authorities in Italy have reported several incidents involving the illegal possession and use of knives. In Latina, Carabinieri officers reported three men for carrying folding knives. One 56-year-old man was found with a 19 cm knife during a vehicle check in Casal delle Palme. In Borgo Grappa, a 49-year-old man was found with a 15 cm knife, a screwdriver, and a wooden stick, while his wife was reported for personal drug use. Additionally, a 35-year-old man was caught with a 13 cm knife in Borgo Podgora.
In a separate incident in Bregnano, two minors aged 14 and 15 allegedly attempted to rob a peer. The victim was surrounded and threatened with a 13 cm folding knife at his throat and a Swiss Army knife at his side. The attackers reportedly sought a small amount of cash. The victim escaped to a nearby bar, and Carabinieri from Cermenate located the suspects at their homes, where the weapons were recovered. The minors have been reported to the juvenile prosecutor's office.
