Overview

  • About thirty individuals from social centers attacked the Fratelli d’Italia headquarters in Turin’s Barriera di Milano on the evening of June 6.
  • Attackers used pickaxes and a crowbar to try to breach the roller shutter before throwing used cooking oil and leaflets reading "Fratelli d’Italia primo della lista".
  • No injuries were reported after militants inside secured the office just minutes before the assault escalated.
  • Augusta Montaruli and Maurizio Marrone condemned the incident as an alarming escalation of left-wing political violence.
  • Authorities have opened an investigation even as party leaders insist the office will remain active to support local residents.
