Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said on May 18 that an incident at the weekend in the northern city of Modena, in which eight people were injured when a second-generation immigrant allegedly drove a car into crowds of people, cannot be dismissed as “the act of an isolated madman.”
Eight people were injured, four critically, when the suspect, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan descent named Salim El Koudri, allegedly drove into pedestrians on May 16 before crashing into a shop window.
