Interior Minister Matteo
Salvini said Wednesday governments in France, South America and
elsewhere should send back to Italy "terrorists" like Cesare
Battisti who was captured at the weekend after 37 years in
Mexico, France and Brazil.
Salvini said Italy had police and intelligence agents working
in France and South America.
"Let's hope for active and loyal collaboration on the part of
governments to make sure that after 30 or 40 years they return
to Italy's jails criminals who are having a high time abroad",
Salvini said.
French European Affairs Minister Nathalie Loiseau said
Wednesday that Salvini should give the French government any
files he has on fugitives like Battisti possibly on the lam in
France.
"If Matteo Salvini has files" on Italian fugitives in France
"let him give them to us and they will be examined by the
justice system, case by case," she said.
"Obviously with a spirit of responsibility and always bearing
in mind how painful the year of lead were for Italy".
