A non-functional military-type rocket launcher was found abandoned this afternoon in a waiting room of the Niguarda hospital in Milan.
Digos and the prosecutor's anti-terrorism pool, led by Alberto Nobili, are investigating the episode, who after an information from the investigators will open an investigation for detention and carrying of war weapons to identify who left it there.
An alleged demonstrative gesture that raises alarm given the climate of tension in recent days around healthcare for the Covid emergency.
The "illuminating rocket launcher" was found just before 5pm in the waiting room of the Radiology ward by a nurse.
The employee then reported him to private security, which alerted the officers on duty at the police station inside the hospital.
The bomb squads were sent to the scene and removed the object and ascertained that it was harmless because it had no trigger.
According to the first investigations it is assumed that it was placed there just to be found.
