Winter Olympics Rail Services Suspected Sabotage

Italy’s Transport Minister Matteo Salvini says ‘lives at risk’ as services between Milano Cortina Games hit.

Trains in Italy faced over an hour of delays due to suspected sabotage during the 2026 Winter Olympics, affecting routes between Naples, Rome, and Florence. Transport Minister Matteo Salvini condemned these acts, linking them to previous incidents and emphasizing the threat to public safety. Authorities are investigating vandalism, including burned cables on the Rome-Naples line. An anarchist group claimed responsibility for earlier disruptions on the first day of the games, causing significant delays.
