Padua, planned looting on Instagram: 11 young people, eight minors
Searches by Digos and Daspo were notified by the Padua Police Headquarters to 11 young people, eight minors, who allegedly planned looting via chat in view of two marches scheduled for tomorrow.

On the same day, eight other minors were summoned to the police station with their parents and the police commissioner applied personal prevention measures to all of them.
