Bomb alerts on planes, the threatening email: "Today your sky will be red"

A threatening email sent to the employees of Aeroporti di Roma and other companies at the Fiumicino airport triggered the alarm on two direct flights to the capital, a Helsinki-Rome connection and a Dublin-Rome connection. The message is signed by the 'Fighters of the Male State'. A signature that refers to the ultranationalist and misogynistic Russian movement 'Muzhskoye Gosudarstvo', already known to international authorities, founded by Vladislav Pozdnyakov and banned in Russia. "We fighters of the male state with our actions today will leave a mark in history. Your feminist regime will remember it forever", reads the email which concludes: "The explosion will occur in 60 minutes. Today your sky will be red".

The alert was transmitted to the Postal Police and Polaria, while Air Force fighters took off to monitor the reported planes. The checks carried out by the bomb squad did not lead to the discovery of any explosive device.

The information will be sent to the competent prosecutor's offices, which will open investigation files to ascertain the origin of the threats. Investigators are also verifying a possible connection with other emails sent in recent days, which announced false bomb alerts on other flights and in around 280 schools. According to what emerged, the text was written in approximate Italian and may have been automatically translated or generated with artificial intelligence tools.
