The prosecutors do not appeal Siher's release from prison and continue their investigations

The Milan Prosecutor's Office, as has already been understood in recent days, has decided not to appeal to the Review against the order of 28 October with which the investigating judge Tiziana Landoni did not validate the arrest and released Youssef Siher, the administrator of the social channels of the "17 October Movement", from prison due to the absence of serious evidence.

It had already seemed clear in recent days that the investigators were not intending to present the appeal (it could have been done, by law, on precautionary needs), because their work is focusing on the investigations that are continuing in search of new elements and to reconstruct the network of contacts of the 30-year-old researcher. Siher remains under investigation for incitement to commit crimes aggravated by the aim of terrorism and organized violence in public demonstrations, in investigations by the Postal Police and Digos, coordinated by the prosecutor Marcello Viola and the prosecutor Francesca Crupi.

The Prosecutor's Office points out, among other things, that a ruling from the Supreme Court of Cassation last January recognizes that incitement to commit crimes occurs even when there is a "persuasive effectiveness such as to influence the volitional sphere of other people so as to induce them to commit" crimes. For the investigating judge, however, Siher was organizing, albeit with harsh tones and vulgar language, only forms of protest against the government, without ever referring to the violence and devastation of 17-18 October.

Meanwhile, the phone of the Palestinian Youth representative remains seized (he did not provide the pin to access the analyses).
