Police conducted several arrests
and searched the homes of a number of suspects on Monday in
relation to a probe into clashes last month at an anti-Fascist
protest in Turin.
Among the suspects whose home was searched was Lavinia Flavia
Cassaro, an elementary school teacher who is under investigation
and risks getting the sack after insulting police at the rally.
Cassaro shouted "Cowards, you must die, Fascists" at the
police who were separating anti-Fascist protesters from a
neo-Fascist CasaPound rally.
Cassaro said she was not wishing death on the officers but on
"the apparatus that defends Fascism".
Three activists linked to the Askatasuna leftwing centre were
arrested in Monday's operation, including one person put under
house arrest, and four others have been notified they must
regularly sign in with the authorities, sources said.
Police were attacked with bottles and cherry bombs containing
nails during the protest.
