The incident took place in September. According to Naftemporiki, musician Nicolae Novasenco, who performs as Bratan, rode a motorcycle with a group of about 30 people and blocked a major road near Milan to shoot a music video. The clip appeared on his Instagram page.
Italian Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi said the authorities considered the artist a threat to public safety. His residence permit was revoked and he was put on the first available flight back to his country of origin. The report identifies the road closure as the basis for the deportation but gives no further details of an investigation.
According to Italian media, the 32-year-old Novasenco had lived in Italy since he was 17, for about 15 years, and is the father of a one-year-old child. The report cited the APE-MPE and AFP news agencies.
Naftemporiki supplied a video with the report. It should be retained without adding an invented transcript.
