Youssef Siher is released, the investigating judge does not validate the arrest

The investigating judge of Milan Tiziana Landoni recently filed the provision with which she did not validate the detention of Youssef Siher and released him, not agreeing with the request made by the Prosecutor's Office which had proposed precautionary custody in prison. The 30-year-old researcher was arrested on Saturday night as administrator of the 'October 17 Movement' telegram channel opened after the two days of riots in Milan. Against him, and against his wife who is under investigation at large, the prosecutors hypothesized the crimes of incitement to commit a crime with the aggravating circumstances of terrorism and organized violence in a street demonstration. The judge evidently accepted the thesis of the defence, with lawyers Benedetto Ciccarone and Yasmina Abu Sharar, who had fully contested the reconstruction of the public prosecutors and the existence of the precautionary requirements.

With the contents published on the Telegram chat "October 17 Movement" Youssef Siher expressed "modes of protest" against the "current government policies", as well as "evoking actions of 'civil disobedience'", but which do not "translate into the adoption of violent or more generally criminal behavior, but rather into the mere planning of weekly demonstrations, capable of raising awareness and involving as many people as possible". This was written by the investigating judge of Milan Tiziana Landoni, who ordered the release of the 30-year-old researcher by not recognizing the "serious indications of guilt" in the crimes accused of him.
