A 55-year-old man wanted by the authorities was arrested in Voghera after police found him drinking alcohol on a bench in a city square. Local police carried out the stop on Friday, 6 November 2026, in Piazza San Bovo. After checks, officers learned the man had an outstanding order for a further six months in prison for previous offences. Police said the operation was part of urban safety controls focused on sensitive areas of the city, including the station area and Piazza San Bovo. During the intervention, officers identified the man and ran verifications through their law-enforcement databases. The checks showed he had numerous previous criminal records and was subject to an execution order issued by a judicial authority. Police gave effect to the order, arrested the man, and after completing formalities transferred him to the Casa Circondariale in Voghera. Further checks with the competent immigration offices also indicated he was in Italy despite a previous expulsion measure issued by the provincial Public Security authority. His situation will be subject to further immigration procedures. The arrest was announced as part of ongoing city efforts to intensify patrols in the historic centre. Officers said attention will remain high in the station area and Piazza San Bovo.
