Italian trapper 351 Bratan has been expelled from Italy and sent back to Moldova after he blocked the Milano-Meda highway to shoot a music video, according to Sky TG24. The deportation was reported on Sunday, September 27, 2026.
The highway was brought to a standstill for the videoclip, an incident that drew coverage from several Italian outlets, including Il Fatto Quotidiano and Corriere Milano. Authorities deemed the trapper "socially dangerous," according to ilgiorno.it, a finding that underpinned the decision to remove him from the country.
Corriere Milano reported that 351 Bratan was repatriated to Moldova following the highway blockade. His defense characterized the episode as "just a prank," the outlet reported, a description that did not prevent the expulsion.
The case adds to a recurring debate in Italy over public disruptions tied to music video productions, though the material available does not detail how long the highway remained closed or whether anyone was charged in connection with the incident. Coverage across the outlets focused on the expulsion order and the stated security rationale rather than on the video itself, which has not been described in the reporting.
What to watch next: whether Italian authorities release further details on the grounds for the expulsion order or on any legal proceedings connected to the highway blockade.
