He confessed to abusing the 12-year-old boy last Friday in the Arrivore park, in the outskirts of Turin. The 20-year-old, born in Italy with Egyptian origins, was stopped yesterday evening by Turin's Mobile Squad, led by Davide Corazzini, and admitted his responsibilities, confirming the account given by the victim. The 20-year-old has a minor criminal record for a property crime.

The facts. The boy was playing in the backyard of his home when he was approached by the teenager who convinced him to take a ride on a scooter, took him to a wooded area near the Stura River and sexually abused him. The victim is resident in the Barriera Milano neighborhood, in the northern periphery of Turin.

After the violence, the 20-year-old accompanied the victim near his home before then distancing himself. The investigation conducted by the Mobile Squad and the local "Barriera Nizza" police station allowed, also thanks to surveillance camera footage and the statements of some witnesses, to identify the perpetrator, who was tracked while riding on his scooter along a street in the same neighborhood.

The young man was stopped for the crime of aggravated sexual assault and before the investigators confessed, saying he acted under the influence of drugs.

Padua's Bangladeshi community is looking ahead to the upcoming municipal elections and is demanding an increasingly central role in the city's political life. Amid demands for housing and schools and the possibility of candidates on center-left lists, the League has also raised accusations about the risk of a growing influence of political Islam.

From accusations of attacking a Pakistani man to politics, to the possibility that the Bangladeshi community could become part of the city's ruling class within a few years. This is what emerged from the Bangladeshi community meeting in Arcella, previewed by the Mattino di Padova newspaper, organized to mark the victory in the elections for the Foreigners' Commission and the temporary appointment of the Bangladeshi consulate at the Neighborhood House. Numerous community members attended the meeting, including journalist Palash Rahman and Hazari Aminul, a kebab shop owner. One of the topics discussed was the recent case of the alleged punitive raid carried out by Bangladeshis against a Pakistani man. But according to Rahman, "things didn't quite go that way," claiming that the confiscated bats "were used exclusively for cricket." Above all, the meeting revealed the community's desire to increasingly influence the city's public life. The community is relaunching housing policies and the issue of schools: however, it is on politics that Rahman makes the comments that would sooner or later come in view of the upcoming municipal elections in Padua (we saw this in the Venice local elections, with seven Bangladeshis on the Democratic Party lists). "We are victims of the old and new center-right politics, which have become more incisive since Giorgia Meloni's government came to power. Let's not forget that next year we will vote in Padua. Those who are against us fear that many Bangladeshis will side with the center-left, even with candidates on the Democratic Party lists. There would be nothing wrong if, in a few years, many of us became leaders."

And they reiterate what happened abroad: "After all, it happened with the mayors of London and New York, and even with Barack Obama, even though the latter isn't Asian. Why couldn't it happen in Italy, in Veneto, and especially in Padua?" And they say this because they know they can make a numerical impact, in a strategy that has been meticulously studied over the years. A prospect that Rahman bases precisely on the numbers of the foreign presence in the country, arguing that Bangladeshis and Pakistanis are "much more numerous than the 3,000 indicated by local statistics." And this is how they want to make an impact: the left winks at them, knowing it has a potentially decisive pool of votes. But political Islam is beginning to take shape in small communities and then scale up at the national level. Commenting on the incident, Annamaria Cisint, a member of the European Parliament for the Northern League, said: "In Padua, they're preparing the lists for the new Islamic party. They're ready to take over the city. After all, this is what happens when too much space is given to radical Islam, when abuses and oppression like those at the mosque on Via Turazza are left unpunished. Mayor Giordani bowed to their lawlessness, and now the Islamists are ready to replace him. And their electoral platform already exists: more subsidies for foreigners, more mosques and Islamic cemeteries. Yes, because they come to Italy, ask for family reunification, have children, sublet their homes to fake relatives, and then ask the state and the municipality for schools, bigger houses, and more services."

The suspicion was well-founded: the Sánchez government knew of the imminent invasion of Ceuta by Moroccan migrants, but was unwilling—or unable—to intervene to try to halt this apocalyptic mass movement of desperate people attracted by the Socialist prime minister's promises of welcome. Today, the examining magistrate of the Audiencia Nacional, María Tardón, in her order ordering the opening of an investigation into the crisis in Ceuta, reports that the National Center for Immigration and Borders (CENIF) of the national police had issued an initial alert on July 29, one day before the wave of migrants began in the autonomous city, regarding the risk of mass arrivals, so that it could be disseminated to the border crossings of Ceuta and Melilla.

Invasion of Ceuta: The Alarm Raised and Not Heeded by the Sánchez Government

The alert indicated the level of risk in a scenario of coordinated entry by swimming and crossing the border fence as "extreme," the judge explains in the ruling seen by LaPresse. On Thursday, in his briefing to the Congress of Deputies on the crisis in Ceuta, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that the government had not received any "alert" warning of the exceptional nature and scope of the event that subsequently occurred.

The Reasons for the Investigation Opened by Spanish Judges

The Spanish National Court has ordered the opening of an investigation into the mass influx of people into Ceuta at the end of July, deeming it a serious attack on Spain's territorial integrity. Investigating Judge María Tardón declared the Court's jurisdiction to investigate the case, identifying possible crimes that compromise the peace or independence of the State, crimes against the rights of foreign citizens in connection with allegations of manslaughter, as well as crimes of criminal organization. The magistrate maintains that "we are faced with criminal conduct presumably committed abroad that has seriously undermined the territorial integrity of Spain, guaranteed by Article 2 of the Constitution, using for this purpose the massive influx of migrants into our country, coupled with irregular migration flows that have severely impacted the lives and rights of the citizens of Ceuta." In her ruling accepting jurisdiction to investigate, which received a favorable opinion from the Prosecutor's Office, the investigating judge cites precisely that report from the National Center for Immigration and Borders (CENIF) on the expected unfolding of events. The report shows that these were not incidental, occasional, or spontaneous initiatives, but rather a process in which the migratory purpose constituted only a formal cover.

Nazareno Tazzi, 37, told Fanpage.it about the attack he suffered yesterday afternoon, Sunday, August 30, around 6 p.m., at Wanda Osiris park, in the Piazzale Istria area of ​​Milan, by a group of boys aged around 14.

A sunny Sunday afternoon in the park. People strolling, children playing soccer. Then, at a certain point, an adult scolds some boys, around 14, who are spitting and swearing in front of everyone. They don't argue, however. They immediately get into a fight. Ten of them surround the man and attack him. One of the boys hits him on the head with a knuckleduster, injuring him. Another tries to hit him with a broken bottle. The afternoon of fun and entertainment ends. The children stop playing and run away in fear. Two Carabinieri patrols and the emergency services arrive.

As told to Fanpage.it by Nazareno Tazzi , 37 years old, the man who suffered the attack, it all happened yesterday afternoon, Sunday 30 August, around 6 pm, at Wanda Osiris park , in the Piazzale Istria area of ​​Milan.

"I was at the park playing ball with some 7-year-olds, children of friends I had decided to spend Sunday with. We started by playing ball. Next to us was a group of kids. I asked them if they wanted to join us to play together . They said yes and we decided to play a little football. During the game, however, I noticed that these kids kept pushing, spitting and swearing in front of the younger children . Their rudeness was truly intolerable. So I stopped the game and asked them to be more respectful , " Tazzi told Fanpage.it

However, when the man asked for more respect, the group of youths reacted violently . First they insulted him, then surrounded him and violently attacked him. "I tried to defend myself, but a knuckle-duster hit me in the head , cutting my forehead,"  Tazzi told Fanpage.it.

At that point, a young woman who witnessed the scene called the Carabinieri, who arrived on the scene very quickly. When they arrived, the attack was still ongoing. It was the military who calmed things down . Emergency responders were also present, having been sent with a yellow code for "fighting" by AREU (Lombardy's emergency agency).

"I was treated on the spot by paramedics and refused to be taken to the hospital. Fortunately, the wound wasn't that serious. I didn't even file a complaint because those boys, all of North African origin, were undocumented. The Carabinieri didn't even call their parents ," Tozzi told Fanpage.it.

Tozzi finally explained that he's lived in the Istria area since he was born. In recent years, he said, the security situation has worsened significantly. "We need to intervene, do something. Certain incidents are unacceptable." 

>L’uomo – poi identificato per un cittadino tunisino di circa 30 anni – dopo averle rubato la borsa, abbandonata per la strada e successivamente recuperata, è scappato verso viale Rosa del Tirreno, inseguito inizialmente da alcuni ragazzi, da un uomo in bicicletta e da una donna in motorino. 

>«Stava fingendo di avere una crisi di panico – prosegue l’uomo entrato in azione insieme all’agente in borghese – e sosteneva di avere sete, motivo per il quale gli abbiamo fatto bere dell’acqua da una bottiglietta. Nelle tasche laterali aveva tre o quattro cellulari, addosso pure un borsello, ma non era quello dell’anziana scippata, visto che il suo lo aveva abbandonato per la strada. Temevamo che, liberandogli le mani, potesse minacciarci con qualcosa, ad esempio con un coltello. Quindi abbiamo fatto in modo che non potesse infilarsele nelle tasche»

The incident occurred during the White Night. The 19-year-old was placed under house arrest with an electronic bracelet.

Imperia – He followed two young girls down the street, then, when one of them was alone, allegedly pushed her to the ground and groped her private parts. A citizen's intervention saved her. A 19-year-old Tunisian man, legally resident in Italy,
was identified and arrested in less than 24 hours for allegedly committing aggravated sexual assault against a 17-year-old girl during Imperia's White Night, between August 22nd and 23rd. The arrest warrant was executed by the Flying Squad of the Imperia Police Headquarters, following the conclusion of the investigation launched immediately after the incident. The 19-year-old is currently in prison in Sanremo, but has already been granted house arrest, with the requirement to wear an electronic bracelet . The alternative measure, ordered by the investigating judge, is expected to be implemented in the next few hours.

The alleged sexual assault occurred on Via Vecchia Piemonte, behind the Imperia courthouse, as reported at the end of the White Night, when the seventeen-year-old was walking home with a friend. According to investigators' reconstruction, the nineteen-year-old noticed the two young women and began following them for a long distance. As soon as the two girls separated, the young man approached the minor from behind, knocking her to the ground and groping her private parts.

A resident, attracted by the girl's screams, stopped the attack . The man appeared on his balcony, saw the scene, and immediately shouted at the 19-year-old to stop, causing him to flee. The man then called 911. Police officers reached Via Vecchia Piemonte within moments, finding the girl in tears and in shock.

Thanks to the description provided by the victim and the witness , the Flying Squad immediately began working to identify the perpetrator. Images from the city's video surveillance system proved crucial. Analysis of the footage allowed them to reconstruct the movements of the young man and the girl, also documenting the long journey during which the 19-year-old followed the victim, up until the moment she was left alone on the street and attacked. Less than 24 hours later, the young man had a name and a face. And he was placed under arrest on suspicion of crime based on further evidence gathered by investigators.

The 19-year-old arrived in Italy about four months ago, reuniting with family members who have lived in the capital for some time. He works regularly, can count on a vast network of relatives, has a clean criminal record , and has never been in trouble with the law. These factors, among other factors, influenced the investigating judge's decision to grant him house arrest.

The judge, in fact, took into account the lack of risk of escape : the young man showed up for work the next day and did not indicate any intention to leave the house. Given these circumstances, the arrest warrant—which, however, was not carried out in flagrante delicto—was not validated, even though serious evidence of guilt led to the precautionary measure.
Before the judge, represented by the lawyer Ramadan Tahiri , the nineteen-year-old admitted to following and restraining the girl, but did not confirm that he had groped her. However, during questioning, he apologized several times. "I was wrong," he said.

Riccardo Caratto, president of the Civ Consorzio Porto Maurizio , organizer of the Notte Bianca, spoke out about the case . "Our deepest sympathy goes out to the young woman. These incidents, unfortunately, could have happened any other night, but the greatest thanks go to this citizen who didn't hide. A community's safety depends on people who report it, while sometimes it's easier to just look the other way. The police, both uniformed and otherwise, ensured the event's success and deserve thanks for their work and for apprehending this young man."

Daniele Ciccione , a city councilor from the Insieme con Scajola group, spoke about the Presidio Amico protest and the objections raised by opposition Democratic Party councilors. "What happened at Notte Bianca is extremely serious. Our first thoughts go to the young woman and her family, along with our thanks to the police and the Flying Squad, who identified the young man with serious criminal charges in less than twenty-four hours. This is what Presidio Amico was designed for: to have more people on the ground and provide additional assistance to citizens. It doesn't replace law enforcement, but rather supports it, coordinated by the local police. Yet the opposition manages to identify problems even in a project designed to increase security. Raising objections to the regulations is legitimate, but turning every administrative step into a political clash doesn't make citizens feel safer. News reports remind us, unfortunately, that we can never be too careful. The goal should be the same, regardless of political affiliation: to make citizens feel and be safer." 

The Carabinieri have arrested a 31-year-old man accused of sexual assault and stalking a young woman in the Savona area. The man, a convicted felon and an illegal immigrant in Italy, is also accused of drug trafficking.

According to investigations, he lured the young woman to his home and forced her to take several doses of cocaine and alcohol, then sexually assaulted her, taking advantage of her dazed state and impaired defense.

Exploiting this situation, the drug dealer allegedly repeatedly harassed and threatened the young woman, intending to persuade her to meet him again, even going so far as to lie in wait outside her home.

The young woman found the strength to call a Carabinieri patrol for help. The officers managed to apprehend him, reconstructing the significant drug dealing activity he was carrying out for several young people in the Savona area.
