Six Egyptians have been arrested in Sicily after 10 underage girls were raped daily at a migrant reception centre, police said.  

Police said the victims are mainly from Egypt and Tunisia and are all minors who were in Covid quarantine.

Five of the arrested Egyptians are under 18 while one is an adult and they have been held on suspicion of kidnap and rape.

The ‘rape gang’ raided the girls’ quarters at the Villa Sikania Centre where they carried out the brutal attacks, police said.

The alleged victims said the gang went to the large reception rooms in the middle of the night almost daily where they forced the young girls to perform sexual acts.

They then threatened and blackmailed them to keep quite about the abuse, it has been claimed. 

Migrants at the reception centre are undergoing Covid quarantine upon their entry to Sicily.

Police are continuing the investigation to find other potential suspects after the alleged abuse was brought to light.

They said the probe could highlight ‘other episodes of sexual violence and crimes against personal freedom and property’.

Villa Sikania is managed by a private association and has been used as a process centre for migrants for a number of years.

The centre has previously seen riots, migrants escaping during quarantine and reports of widespread sexual promiscuity, according to La Stampa.
