A sixteen-year-old boy, residing in the province of Como, was arrested in Grosseto, where he was on vacation with his family. The operation was carried out by law enforcement in response to information regarding the young man's contacts with members of Isis, with whom he exchanged messages online.

According to sources, among the material found on the boy's devices were videos of training sessions and executions of prisoners. The young man is under investigation for participation in an association for the purpose of international terrorism and for incitement to commit crimes for reasons of racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination.

Authorities have highlighted the presence of jihadist and neo-Nazi propaganda in the material possessed by the sixteen-year-old. The restrictive measure was issued following thorough investigations conducted on reports concerning his online behavior.
