Italy suspects that the Milan chaos was not spontaneous and believes a foreign actor may have stirred up the young people
Intelligence services draw a parallel with what happened in Ceuta and the judge in charge believes that there was “a precise project to destabilize public order”
The Italian government, led by Giorgia Meloni, has approved a new decree introducing tougher security measures and new crimes in response to recent incidents in Milan. The move is the eighth decree in four years, amid concerns over public safety. The incidents involved around 2,000 young people who suddenly gathered in Milan's city centre, smashing shop windows and stealing branded goods, with some suggesting that the mobilisation was not entirely spontaneous.
Italy's Defence Minister, Guido Crosetto, has described the events as the culmination of a "hybrid war".
