Italy faced a transportation crisis as train services through key routes were delayed by over an hour due to suspected acts of sabotage during the Olympic Games.

Delays affected the routes between Naples, Rome, and Florence, just as Italy was hosting the Winter Olympics. Transport Minister Matteo Salvini strongly condemned those responsible for these 'hateful criminal acts.'

Authorities launched an investigation into burnt cables and other acts of vandalism. An anarchist group claimed responsibility for similar incidents the previous week, further intensifying the scrutiny.
