Overview
- An unauthorized Halloween event called Witchtek drew roughly 5,000 people to the disused Bugatti factory in Campogalliano.
- Clashes erupted as many attendees tried to leave without checks, with attempts to breach police cordons, projectiles thrown, and officers using tear gas and charges to disperse the crowd.
- The Questura reports 2,805 people identified, 576 vehicles checked, and arrests including nine for drug offenses, one for resisting police, and seven for personal injury and resistance.
- Seizures included a knife, a van, a camper, two cars, and 22 pieces of audio and technical equipment, following days of checkpoints set up since the night of October 31.
- A portion of the crowd fled through fields or returned inside the plant, while the aftermath now includes investigations, claims of medical incidents raised by Senator Ilaria Cucchi, and police unions condemning the violence and reporting injured officers.
