Milan protests and threats against police official

Overview

Violent demonstrations against the rising cost of living in Milan’s Piazza Duomo resulted in an injury to Angelo De Simone, a senior official and head of the Garibaldi-Venezia police station. During the clashes, De Simone was struck in the forehead by a large cobblestone. Despite the injury, he reportedly continued to coordinate police operations before receiving medical treatment.

Following the incident, an investigation was launched into a threatening letter sent to De Simone on October 20. The letter contained violent rhetoric, expressing regret that the officer’s head had not been more severely injured and suggesting that larger cobblestones should have been used during the clashes. Senate President Ignazio La Russa expressed indignation regarding the letter and offered support to the officer and security forces.
