The charges include terrorism and incitement to commit crimes. His wife is also under investigation.
Milan prosecutor Francesca Crupi will ask tomorrow for validation of the arrest of Youssef Sehir, the thirty-year-old researcher arrested yesterday on charges of terrorism, incitement to commit a crime, and organized violence at public demonstrations, as he is believed to be the administrator of the Telegram chat and the Instagram page Movimento 17 ottobre. The preliminary investigation judge, having received the documents from the anti-terrorism section of the Prosecutor's Office, will set a date for the validation of the arrest.
Youssef Siher's wife, the thirty-year-old arrested during the night after a lengthy interrogation, is also under investigation for incitement to commit a crime. The woman, 32 years old, of Lebanese origin, is under investigation together with her husband. According to investigators, both would be administrators of the Instagram and Telegram pages of the movement that organized last week's square protests. It was reportedly thanks to the woman's phone that investigators, on Saturday morning, managed to track down Siher, whose phone was instead turned off and who could not be located. The 32-year-old, an intercultural mediator, was born and raised in Como, where she is registered as a resident. On social media she describes herself as "Lebanese, Palestinian, and Arab by belonging." The couple reportedly married last September and lives in the province of Milan, despite having different official residences: he in Mazzano, in the Brescia area, she in Como.
