Overview

• The prosecutor’s office has requested four pre-trial detention orders, three house arrests and ten other restrictive measures against 47 activists.
• The investigation relies on a 250-page DIGOS report detailing clashes during five pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Turin between 2023 and 2024.
• Authorities allege some participants committed private violence and resisted public officials, describing actions as “inaudita violenza” against police.
• Key incidents under scrutiny include unrest at Campus Einaudi, clashes during Prime Minister Meloni’s Festival delle Regioni visit and a protest outside RAI headquarters.
• Preliminary interrogations began on July 28 and defense teams are challenging both the timing of the measures and the reconstruction of events.
