Italian Judge Frees Protest Violence Suspect, Drawing Criticism from PM Meloni
An Italian judge ordered the release of Youssef Siher, a university researcher and journalist accused of inciting violent protests in Milan. The judge found the investigation flawed and saw no serious grounds for the charges or risk of flight. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni criticized the ruling as a humiliation of police efforts. Siher denied wrongdoing, and the judge noted that subversive messages were posted by other group members, not Siher himself.
