Explained in plain English

What happens to detained minors?

Minors detained during protests, like some in Milan, are typically processed under specific juvenile justice laws. Depending on their age and the severity of the alleged offence, they could face charges, be released with a warning, or be referred to social services. Their legal rights differ from adults.
