More than 600 people were arrested in Italy as part of a large-scale operation to combat youth crime, the central police administration reported. They are accused of robbery, assault and trafficking and possession of drugs and weapons. These people were identified during two weeks of control and searches. More than 230,000 young people, including 23,000 minors, were subjected to various forms of surveillance. Two weeks ago youth demonstrations in Milan were marked by violence, vandalism, robberies and riots. Subsequently, the government adopted additional punitive measures to prevent the recurrence of such protests. Video: State Police/X.
