Following weekend riots in Milan that resulted in over 100 police injuries and widespread shop looting, the Italian government announced a series of tougher security measures on Tuesday. The state's response includes the immediate deployment of 500 additional soldiers to the area.
In addition to the military reinforcement, the newly announced measures aim to crack down heavily on civil unrest by imposing harsher criminal penalties for violent protesters. The policy also introduces financial accountability provisions, holding parents legally and financially responsible for damages caused by their children during such events.
