Some 301 young people were cited
Tuesday for taking part in an illegal rave party near Bologna on
August 1, sources said Tuesday.
Those cited, including 22 minors, are accused of invading
private land and buildings for the rave in an ex-sugar factory
at Argelato.
About 1,000 youths from all over Italy took part in the rave.
They have all been sanctioned for breaking COVID-19 safety
rules.
Some 165 of them have a criminal record.
The citations come after a huge illegal rave near Viterbo on
August 13-19 that drew thousands of young people from across
Europe and spurred criticism of Interior Minister Luciana
Lamorgese for an alleged lack of policing.
A man died in a lake, four people were taken to hospital with
alcohol poisoning and a pusher was arrested in connection to the
rave, which left heaps of rubbish and other waste across an area
straddling the borders of Lazio and Tuscany.
Some people from the rave went into a supermarket naked,
frightening children and fluting COVID rules.
