Italian authorities are investigating a possible anarchist motive behind a fire at a Tesla Inc. dealership in Rome.
Interior Ministry Matteo Piantedosi suggested foul play was likely the cause of the blaze, which damaged 17 vehicles. “Elements prosecutors are examining lead us to think it’s rather likely there’s an anarchist-antagonist matrix,” the minister said Monday evening on Rai state television.
