Milan, 28 March (LaPresse) – ‘With regard to the check carried out in the early hours of this morning on MEP Ilaria Salis at an accommodation facility in the capital, it should be noted that the procedure was initiated, as a matter of course, following a report from a third country within the European Union, which leaves no room for discretion in the obligations required of the Italian authorities.’ This is the statement issued by the Rome Police Headquarters regarding the preventive check to which MEP Ilaria Salis was subjected today.
