Meloni authorizes swift security package as Turin violence injures 100 police
Italy is fast-tracking a security decree after violent clashes in Turin left more than 100 security personnel injured, including a hammer attack on a 29-year-old officer. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni condemned the assault as 'attempted murder' and the government is pushing measures such as 12-hour preventive detention for repeat violent offenders, tighter knife restrictions for minors, and expanded self-defense protections ahead of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
