The Venice prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg and 36 of her associates from the climate change movement Extinction Rebellion, who organized a protest on the Grand Canal. Italian newspaper Repubblica reported this news.
According to law enforcement agencies, activists poured a safe, bright green dye into the canal from the city's water trolley side. After examination, the investigation concluded that the only charge that could be brought against the environmental activists was organizing an unauthorized demonstration. The Venice prosecutor's office opened the case precisely on this basis.
