Attempted theft of a motorcycle. In jail, Ramy's friend

Fares Bouzidi, a 23-year-old Tunisian, was arrested in Milan while attempting to steal a motorcycle, previously associated with a notorious incident involving his friend Ramy.

Fares Bouzidi, a 23-year-old Tunisian living in Vizzolo Predabissi, was apprehended by undercover police shortly after 11 PM in via Romualdo Marenco, an upscale area of CityLife filled with glass skyscrapers. He was caught pushing a Yamaha Ténéré motorcycle valued at €15,000 along with his accomplice Davide F., a 21-year-old, who attempted to resist arrest. They were charged with aggravated attempted theft, and they are set to face immediate judicial proceedings.

This incident has drawn attention due to Bouzidi's prior involvement in a high-profile case. He was the driver of a vehicle on the night of November 24, 2024, that was associated with the tragic death of Ramy Elgaml, a 19-year-old Egyptian who died during a police chase. This connection has led the media to draw parallels between the current situation and the previous incident, highlighting Bouzidi's ongoing legal troubles and the potential for escalating criminal behavior among young offenders in the region.

The details of this theft attempt shed light on the broader issues of youth crime in urban Italy, particularly in affluent neighborhoods where the appeal of luxury goods can tempt individuals towards criminal activities. The swift police response and the immediate judicial procedure reflect the authorities' efforts to tackle such crimes effectively, although the repeated offenses by individuals like Bouzidi raise questions about the long-term solutions for rehabilitation and prevention of youth crime.
