Six precautionary measures for the attacks that took place in the nightlife area in Milan on July 26, 2020. They were carried out by the State Police, as part of an activity coordinated by the public prosecutor of the Lombard capital, against young people residing in the provinces of Milan , Varese, Monza and Piacenza, with the collaboration of their respective mobile teams. The six are added to two minors already affected by a restrictive measure issued by the juvenile court.
On the night of last July 26 in Milan in Piazza Sempione, the gang, made up of eight people, six of whom just of age, attacked a group of young people who were spending the evening near the Arco della Pace under a banal pretext. Among the young people, the investigators explain, the nineteen-year-old MM, hit by a violent punch in the face, was transported to the hospital and remained in a pharmacological coma for several weeks before discharge, with serious injuries and a prognosis of more than 40 days. The violent and disproportionate aggressive action, the note continues, had created panic among the crowd with a disorderly escape from the scene. The group, it is recalled, had witnessed, in the previous hours, always in the area of the Milanese nightlife, the shooting of a video of a young emerging trapper.
Investigators explain that through the investigations carried out in the following days, and concentrated in the night hours, it was possible to trace the origin of some groups of assiduous visitors to the area. Furthermore, the vision of the video surveillance cameras and the control of the social platforms allowed the fifth Section of the mobile team to reconstruct the dynamics of the group aggression characterized by the typical ways of the ‘herd’. A dynamic that for the Police was characterized by “a total disregard of the most basic values of physical safety and dignity of others”.
