Hacktivist suspects vanned – including 5 kids

Fifteen suspected members of Anonymous have been arrested following a joint Italian-Swiss police investigation, AFP reports.

Police reckon the group formed a cell that attacked the websites of the Italian government and prominent Italian companies, energy firms ENEL and ENI, as well as state broadcaster RAI. The group, reportedly led by a 26-year-old Italian living in Switzerland, were arrested and questioned prior to being released on bail pending further inquiries. Five of the suspects are juveniles, according to Swiss reports.
