Two men were arrested by the Digos
security police in Milan on Tuesday in an anti-terrorism
operation, prosecutors said.
The pair - an Egyptian and an Italian of Egyptian origin - are
accused of criminal association for terrorism and instigation to
commit crime for terrorism purposes.
Milan prosecutor Marcello Viola said the suspects were
"extremely active in digital propaganda and proselytism on
behalf of ISIS" and had allegedly "sworn an oath of belonging
and loyalty" to the Islamist terror group.
They are also accused of financing the causes of the so-called
Islamic State.
