Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
said Friday the testing of Tasers for the Italian police force
will start "in two or three weeks". Speaking in Genoa where he
voiced solidarity for a policeman who was stabbed by an
Ecuadorean man who was then shot dead by another officer while
being sectioned, Salvini said "I will have the good fortune as
minister, I think in the next two or three weeks, to start
testing of the (Tasers) to let police defend themselves better
like in other European countries". Salvini visited the stabbed
policeman, who is recovering from his injuries, in Genoa's San
Martino Hospital.
