Retro gaming YouTuber faces criminal charges and possible jail time for reviewing handheld consoles that shipped with pre-loaded ROMs

An Italian YouTuber who specializes in retro gaming says he's facing criminal charges and a possible jail sentence as a result of reviewing retro gaming consoles on his channel, some of which came with pre-loaded ROMs.

Francesco Salicini, who streams as Once Were Nerd, said in a video posted on July 14 (via Android Authority) that the ordeal began on April 15 when Italy's Guardia di Finanza, a law enforcement agency that focuses on financial crimes, showed up at his mother's house with a search warrant.
