Illegal carrying of weapons and robbery are the charges that led the carabinieri of the Lecco provincial command to arrest and take to jail in Busto Arsizio (Varese) Mouhib Zaccaria, better known as Baby Gang, a trapper who counts 6.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify. There have been several pre-trial detention orders and numerous searches involving the artist and six people close to him.

The new arrest comes just a few days after the conviction, on 4 March, to two years and eight months, for receiving stolen goods and possession of a clandestine pistol with an abraded serial number. The 24-year-old had been arrested, on 11 September 2025, as part of an investigation coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office of Lecco. During a search, they had found the clandestine weapon in a hotel room in Milan. 'That's enough now, only music', Mouhib had said that day after the verdict at the Milan Palace of Justice.

In addition to Baby Gand, there are six persons reached by a pre-trial detention order issued by the Gip of the Court of Lecco. To these are added two other young people who are subject to a prohibition to stay in the province of Lecco.

According to the investigators, the eight were all part of 'the singer's criminal entourage' and are being investigated in complicity and in various capacities for the possession, sale and illegal carrying, receiving and receiving of common and war weapons, and robbery and aggravated injuries in complicity against three Romanian citizens attacked in Calolziocorte (Lecco) on the evening of 15 June 2025 simply for having stopped to talk on the street in front of the singer's house. The three were surrounded, dragged to the secondary entrance of the house and severely beaten by Zaccaria Mouhib and five other people.

Mouhib alone is also under investigation for mistreatment of and aggravated injuries to his cohabitant, a 22-year-old Italian woman, who was 'subjected to daily psychological and physical harassment, culminating in an assault during which the man repeatedly hit her in the face, causing a fracture of her nasal septum, and then removed her from the house'.

The investigation started in February 2025 following the arrest of a Macedonian convicted criminal who was found in possession of two stolen pistols, which had already been used in previous criminal acts and were linked to the Baby Gang (the shooting in Corso Como in Milan on 3 July 2022 and the shooting in Via Baroni, also in Milan, on 7 April 2023), who had given them to the Macedonian. The investigation is the continuation of the one that had culminated on 11 September 2025 with the arrest of six people, including Mouhib himself in flagrante delicto for possession and carrying an illegal gun.

Again according to the Carabinieri, the latest investigations 'have made it possible to ascertain the illicit possession, carrying and sale by the association of common and war weapons, three of which have already been found and seized'. The group also used these weapons for intimidation purposes 'to carry out punitive patrols against persons considered to be competitors in criminal activities in the area'.

Finally, the investigations 'revealed the rapper's total disregard for the prescriptions imposed on him by the special surveillance to which he was subjected, as well as his recklessness in committing crimes'.
