Casapound Activist Killed in Shooting Incident
Widespread protests and unrest have erupted across Italy in response to a rally organized by the right-wing extremist group CasaPound Italia. In Genoa, violent clashes broke out between anti-fascist protesters and police forces guarding the event in Piazza Marsala.
The situation escalated tragically when Manuel Di Palo, a 38-year-old CasaPound activist, was fatally shot in the afternoon in the central Carmine district. The incident occurred during an altercation, and the circumstances surrounding his death are still under investigation.
Meanwhile, Kevin Chiappalone, a former CasaPound member from Genoa who left Italy to fight in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, has been under investigation by the Genoa Public Prosecutor's Office. The details of his alleged involvement in the protests remain unclear.
The escalating violence has raised concerns about the growing political tensions in Italy and the potential for further unrest. Authorities have urged for calm and denounced the violent actions that have marred the protests.
