Overview
- Three minors were questioned for hours at the Beccaria intake center as all four suspects remain in custody, with the adult held at San Vittore.
- The court validated the arrest of the 20-year-old and ordered pretrial detention, recognizing aggravated robbery and attempted extortion and describing his conduct as displaying an extremely high criminal capacity.
- Police say the group stripped the victim, held him for about 20 minutes, and forced a call to demand a 100‑euro card top‑up under death threats to the boy’s father.
- Carabinieri traced the group within minutes and made arrests despite resistance, with the female minor threatening an officer with a bottle and two suspects requiring hospital checks for intoxication.
- The victim’s mother published a letter condemning bystander indifference and warning that the 'maranza' youth phenomenon has become a broader social emergency in Milan.
