Overview

• Hasan Uzun, 46, was arrested in the Netherlands on a European warrant, extradited on June 27, and is now in isolation at Trieste’s Coroneo prison.
• Prosecutors have filed a weapons charge related to a CZ 7B 9mm pistol with a magazine and 14 rounds found in an abandoned trolley at Trieste station the day before the papal visit.
• CCTV and travel records place Uzun leaving the trolley, buying an Italian SIM with cash, taking a Frecciarossa to Milan, and being turned back at the Swiss border at Chiasso, with footage noting a man in a light-blue shirt alongside him.
• A confidential security note cited in Italian media refers to a possible project of attack attributed to a Turkish group linked to ISIS Khorasan.
• The Questura says no evidence proves hostile or homicidal planning against the Pope, the defense denies the pistol is Uzun’s, and investigators are seeking any accomplices or network ties.
