A total of 10 banks, 44 cars
and 18 shop windows were destroyed during violent May Day
clashes in Milan this year, according to the arrest order of 10
Italian and Greek anarchist protesters.
The most serious violence occurred along Largo d'Ancona in
central Milan, according to the preliminary investigation judge,
with protesters also targeting the Palazzo delle Stelline in
Corso Magenta.
Those arrested face charges including devastation and
arson. They are all on record for previous involvement in
violent protests and illegal occupation of buildings.
They are "part of a group that had organised the trip well
in advance to participate in the demonstration and commit
violent acts," the judge wrote.
