Safe New Year’s Eve, the “Kvara bomb” and seizures throughout Italy: the war on barrels starts early

Fight against time to ensure a safe New Year’s Eve for Italians. All the forces of order, police, carabinieri, financial police are on the field to counter the trafficking of illegal fireworks that could turn the New Year’s Eve party into a tragedy. Thus, while in Naples there is talk of the “Kvara bomb” and in Cagliari of the “balloon of Messi”, the trendy barrels for the end of 2022, from North to South of Italy there is a succession of press releases on the seizures of outlawed explosives. The last of the day in order of time? In Matera about 16 kilograms of pyrotechnic products, “many of which have high explosive potential”, were seized by the police who arrested a 35-year-old man in flagrante delicto. In Città di Castello (Perugia) the finance police seized over 200 kilos of explosive material, displayed for sale without the required authorisation.
