Overview

• Italian investigators say Interpol arrested 46‑year‑old Hasan Uzun in the Netherlands on a European warrant and he is now held in isolation at Trieste’s Coroneo prison.
• Formal proceedings currently focus on possession and carrying of a common firearm as prosecutors and intelligence services pursue a broader terrorism investigation.
• A CZ 7B 9mm Luger with a magazine and 14 cartridges was found in a trolley abandoned in a station bar on July 6, 2024, the day before Pope Francis’s visit.
• Surveillance and travel records cited in reports link Uzun to the trolley and trace his movements through SIM‑card purchases, a train to Milan, and a failed attempt to enter Switzerland.
• Some reporting cites a police note stating no evidence of a plan has emerged, though case files referenced by other outlets include an intelligence note about a possible attack attributed to a Turkish group tied to ISIS‑K.
