Rome - Italy has 1,150 informants and 82 witnesses currently
under interior ministry protection, Deputy Interior Minister
Filippo Bubbico told the anti-mafia parliament commission on
Thursday.
The total receiving special security services rises to
5,909 when close relatives of the informants and witnesses are
counted.
"We are in a paradoxical situation. On the one hand, the
State commits resources for the benefit of collaborators. On the
other, the beneficiaries of the protection are unsatisfied with
the services and live in a situation of conflict."
