Defence Minister Roberta
Pinotti said Tuesday that she was willing to agree to Milan
Mayor Giuseppe Sala's request to station more soldiers there to
beef up the security presence in the northern city. She said the
Strade Sicure operation featuring soldiers had had "extremely
positive outcomes" including a "30% reduction in crimes in
Rome". She added that some of the 1,800 troops employed for the
Catholic Church's Jubilee of Mercy, which is coming to an end,
could be used.
