Milan Judge Confirms Baby Gang’s Arrest, Orders Pretrial Detention After Firearms Seizures

The court cited his special-surveillance status, prior weapons and violence convictions, and an exceptionally high risk of reoffending.

Overview

  • Carabinieri found a semiautomatic pistol with a magazine and nine rounds hidden in a Milan hotel room and later seized two more pistols at his home in Calolziocorte.
  • GIP Fiammetta Modica validated the arrest and ordered custody in San Vittore, accepting the request advanced by the on-call prosecutor Maura Ripamonti.
  • The judge said the rapper had shown absolute indifference to judicial measures, noting he was allowed to stay at the hotel only via a special permit linked to a performance.
  • Baby Gang told the court he kept a modified blank gun to protect valuable jewelry, including a necklace he valued at more than €200,000, a claim the judge deemed inverosimile.
  • Reporting places the case within a broader Lecco prosecutor’s probe into suspected arms and drug trafficking that has already produced four arrests.
