Italian authorities are investigating allegations that young women, including at least one from Britain, were molested by gangs of men carrying Palestinian and other flags on New Year’s Eve.

Six young Belgian tourists who were on holiday in Milan claim they were surrounded by a group of around 40 men and subjected to a terrifying ordeal in which the men put their hands up their skirts and tops.

The men are suspected to have molested other women, including some Italians and an unknown number of tourists from Spain and South America….

Two young British citizens were among the victims of attacks reported amid New Year’s Eve celebrations in Milan’s Piazza Duomo, including a group of friends from Belgium, Belgian newspaper Sudinfo reported on Friday.



One of the six young Belgian women from Liège who reported the alleged assault was questioned by the Italian police on Friday.



The two British nationals, “a girl and her boyfriend, met the six young people from Liège in Milan in the afternoon of December 31 and got together with them.



“The two then went to the police and filed a complaint”, reported the French-language newspaper.



Milan prosecutors have opened a probe into allegations that the six young Belgians were sexually assaulted by second-generation North African men in the northern city’s Piazza Duomo.



The reported assaults and molestation were allegedly carried out by Islamic men, some of whom also allegedly waved their national flags and disparaged Italy, according to the Italian media.
