There is the first Italian investigated for having gone to fight in Ukraine with the resistance.
Kevin Chiappalone is a 19-year-old Genoese, a sympathizer of the far-right movement CasaPound.
Deputy Prosecutor Marco Zocco of the Genoese District Anti-Mafia and Counter-Terrorism Directorate accuses him of being a mercenary enlisted in the Ukrainian International Brigade and faces a sentence of two to seven years.
The Digos investigation started after the young man's statements to the weekly Panorama in which he announced that he wanted to leave to defend Ukraine after hearing Putin talking about "denazifying the country".
