Premier Matteo Renzi said at a
joint press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel
after they met Friday that Italy is fingerprinting and
identifying through facial recognition 100% of asylum seekers.
"I want to reassure German public opinion that, while there have
been difficulties in the past, today thanks to the work of the
Italian police we've reached 100% fingerprinting and facial
recognition," he said. The latter is "very useful in combating
terror," he added.
