Quiet night in Milan's Corvetto district after unrest

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 27 - Tuesday was a quiet night in Milan's Corvetto district after three nights of unrest mainly by immigrant youths after a 19-year-old Egyptian man was killed in a police car chase on Saturday night.
    After three nights of tension and vandalism, the last 12 hours have passed peacefully in the Corvetto neighborhood of Milan, in turmoil after the death of Ramy Elgaml, the 19-year-old who died in a scooter accident - he was the passenger - on the night between Saturday and Sunday, during a chase with the Carabinieri.
    Youths set fire to rubbish containers and defaced property over the last three nights.
    On Tuesday, in addition to the driver of the scooter, a 22-year-old Tunisian, now under guard in hospital, the Carabiniere driving the pursuing car was also placed under investigation.
    In the peripheral neighborhood, which for years has been a difficult area of ;;the city due to degradation, illegal building and concentration of poverty, demonstrations against the police have already occurred in the past.
    A large deployment of law enforcement forces - mainly State Police - is guarding the streets around Piazza Gabriele Rosa, while investigations into the vandalism and fires continue.
    In the meantime, after Tuesday's request for validation of the arrest of the 21-year-old Montenegrin, an irregular, (who lives in another high-risk neighborhood, the San Siro 'casbah'), a preliminary hearing by an investigating judge is expected Wednesday, along with new possible suspects after the analysis of the video footage of the rioters, at least a hundred, among whom the 21-year-old, with his face covered, stood out in the front row.
    Deputy Premier, Transport Minister and anti-migrant League party leader Matteo Salvini said "the main problem here and elsewhere is with second-generation teen gangs, it's a full-blown emergency across the country".
    Lombardy Governor Attilio Fontana, also of the League, said "the violence is reminiscent of the banlieues in Paris, the situation is very concerning".
    Elgaml's father said "we disassociate ourselves from the violence, Italy is our country".
    He added: "we don't want revenge but to know what happened".
    Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala, who invited Elgaml's father and girlfriend to the city council later this week, said Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi wuld shortly visit the Lombard capital amid the concern over migrant youth unrest.
    "I understand that the Right likes to foment these situations but I am here today to continue to say that Milan will remain a welcoming city," said Sala, a leading member of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD). (ANSA).
