The Italian State Police conducted a large-scale operation across 44 provinces targeting youth crime. The operation, coordinated by the Central Operational Service, resulted in 539 arrests, 47 of which involved minors. A further 954 individuals were reported to judicial authorities.

Authorities seized 703 kilograms of narcotics, along with 49 firearms, 87 bladed weapons and approximately 300,000 euros in cash. Nearly 190,000 people were checked, mainly in nightlife and drug-dealing areas, while 1,182 properties were inspected.

According to some outlets, nearly 1,000 social media profiles allegedly glorifying violence were taken down, a detail not confirmed by all sources. The operation ranks among the broadest interventions in recent years against crime linked to youth groups.
