Terrorism: he was ready to strike with attacks, also carrying out propaganda Jihadist. Stop a minor radicalized to ISIS.

The Bergamo State Police carried out an arrest ordered by the Public Prosecutor's Office for Minors of Brescia and validated by the GIP of the Juvenile Court on 29 May, against a minor, an Italian citizen of foreign origin, resident in the province of Bergamo , under investigation for association with the purposes of terrorism, training, apology and incitement to aggravated crimes.

The monitoring of the young man by the policemen of the Digos of Bergamo and Brescia and of the Service for Countering Extremism and External Terrorism of the Central Directorate of the Prevention Police began following his rapid process of violent radicalization and the publication jihadist propaganda videos attributable to ISIS on social media: the investigative activity, also carried out with the contributions of the Intelligence sector and foreign police forces, revealed that the minor belonged to a network of young internet users who supported Daesh , present in various countries in Europe and America, many of whom have been arrested in recent weeks.

The investigations made it possible to ascertain that the young man, following the aforementioned rapid radicalization process, was ready to take action by developing the plan for an arson attack in the area where he lives; the minor was also found in possession of numerous contents attributable to the Islamic State, including videos of executions and manuals relating to weapons and the manufacturing of bombs, which he also spread online, urging other young internet users to take action.

It is stated that the principle of presumption of innocence applies and the responsibility of the persons subjected to investigation will be definitively ascertained only if an irrevocable sentence of conviction occurs.
