Five French citizens arrested
Saturday in Genoa after they were caught destroying the side
view mirrors on six cars are to remain in custody, a court ruled
Wednesday.
The court agreed with prosecutors that the five - who are
also accused of resisting arrest - displayed "anti-social
behavior" and are at high risk of offending again.
While all of them denied attacking police officers, one has
admitted to damaging the cars.
"I was drunk," he reportedly said. "I did something
stupid".
As well, Milan prosecutors have obtained DNA samples from
the five in order to compare it to traces found on gas masks and
black coveralls left behind by violent anti-Expo demonstrators
in Milan on May 1.
