Police have identified a suspect in
relation to online death threats directed at Premier Giorgia
Meloni and her family, sources said on Wednesday.
The suspect is a 27-year-old unemployed man residing in the
Sicilian province of Siracusa, the sources said.
The postal police detected the threats on the premier's official
Twitter account.
The threats allegedly regarded the government's decision to
abolish the 'citizenship wage' minimum-income benefit for people
consider fit for work at the end of next year.
The suspect faces charges of aggravated private violence.
The postal police managed to track him down even though he used
an account in the name of a pseudonym to make the threats.
The postal police and the DIGOS security police searched the
man's home and his IT devices.
