Milan anti-terrorism prosecutors have
opened a probe in to the case of Ivan Luca Vavassori, a former
minor-league professional footballer who quit soccer to join the
international brigade and fight with the Ukraine army after the
Russian invasion, sources said Tuesday.
It had been feared that the 29-year-old had been killed in a
Russian attack on Mariupol but his father said on Monday that
he is still alive.
No one has been formally placed under investigation with respect
to the probe at the moment, the sources said.
The probe will look into whether there is an illegal network to
recruit volunteers or mercenaries to fight in Ukraine, the
sources said.
