A 21-year-old university student from Cava de' Tirreni was arrested by Digos and the Directorate Central Police Prevention, according to a report in Il Mattino.
The reported investigation concerned the alleged possession of manuals about preparing and using lethal war devices intended for terrorism. The report describes the materials as including publications and manuals associated with the Islamic State.
What investigators reportedly found
According to Il Mattino, the student had been flagged by Aise after online searches related to preparing war devices and consultation of publications linked to the Islamic State.
A subsequent search reportedly resulted in the seizure of two knives, two pistols and a machete. The report also says online checks pointed investigators toward an alleged intention to carry out violent actions.
The article says the student had previously come to the attention of law enforcement for fraud and illegal weapons possession.
What remains unclear
The available report describes investigative allegations and does not establish criminal responsibility. It does not provide the student's name, the precise date of the arrest, or the exact location of the search.
The subsequent judicial outcome, including whether the arrest was validated and what charges were ultimately confirmed, has not been established in the available research. No independent corroborating source for this specific case was acquired.
