“Genocide against Italians” and a bomb hidden inside a school. These are the threats contained in an email sent to numerous Italian schools, which also reached the Rimini area, where checks and precautionary evacuations were carried out on the morning of Wednesday, November 11.
The author identifies himself as Mikhail Andropov, leader of the Vilayat of Misoginistan. This is the identity declared in the message, which is currently under investigation.
In the letter, he claims to have planted a remotely triggered device inside a school building, hidden in a plastic bag. The text contains explicit threats against Italians and announces further attacks.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is also targeted: “We have placed a bomb in your prime minister’s car engine.” The claims contained in the email are threats made by the sender, not confirmed facts.
In the province of Rimini, schools that received the communications include the Alberto Marvelli institute, the Marco Polo institute, the Giulietta Masina language and social-economic high school, and the Misano Adriatico comprehensive school.
Some schools evacuated students in an orderly manner. Police and Carabinieri launched inspections of the buildings, checking entrance halls, bins and common areas. The postal police and the Digos (anti-terrorism police unit) are working to trace the origin of the messages.
