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.
