In chat they plan looting in Padua, Daspo also for 8 minors

Searches by the Urban Digos and Daspo were carried out and notified by the Padua Police Headquarters against 11 young people, eight of whom were minors, who allegedly planned looting via chat in view of two protest marches scheduled for tomorrow.

The Police Commissioner Marco Odorisio summoned the children this morning, accompanied by their parents, issuing four Oral Warnings, five Daspo out of context for five years, five Dacur for five years and 27 Warnings. The Venice Juvenile Prosecutor's Office proceeds by instigating disobedience to public order laws and hatred between social classes.

In particular, the agents intercepted a chat on Instagram in which damage and raids against public businesses in the historic center were planned. In the chats, members planned to infiltrate the demonstrations, recommending wearing "total black" clothing and "bring fireworks, firecrackers, smoke bombs to direct at the cops". Two shoe shops in the historic center were also indicated to be looted.

An Instagram profile with this content was followed by around 200 people. The owner is a 17 year old with a history of two robberies and bodily harm; 11 others of his age had similar precedents, some in competition with him. For the most part these are second generation Italians of Maghreb origin, five of whom have already received Dacur and Oral Notice.

The one underway is the second preventive operation carried out by Digos of Padua; a week ago, on the eve of the national mobilization of students, eight searches were carried out on as many minors for incitement to aggravated crime: riots were planned with attacks on the police station and looting of shops in the historic centre; on the same day eight other minors had been summoned to the police station with their parents, with the police commissioner having applied Personal Prevention Measures to all of them.
