Italy's Giorgia Meloni approves tough anti-riot laws with €20,000 fines and prison for rioters after Milan looting
Police can now hold under-18s for 12 hours without any crime committed if they are judged dangerous, said deputy PM Matteo Salvini. Italy is also set to send 500 troops 'with police powers' to Milan, according to Antonio Tajani. Police detained 271 people, mostly minors, after weekend riots. Defence minister Guido Crosetto blamed a 'hybrid war' on the West waged through TikTok.
Chanel, Tiffany and Dior stripped their windows on Milan's Via Montenapoleone.
Salvini: 'From words to action: 500 more troops to defend Milan.'
France will also deploy military forces for fresh protests planned this Saturday.
