Police in Bergamo on Monday
arrested 10 people, including several public officials, charged
with aggravated abetting of illegal immigration, fraudulent
misrepresentation committed by public officials, corruption and
of forging documents to issue residency permits.
The so-called 'Yuan' police operation was carried out in
Bergamo, Milan and Novara.
Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, the
leader of the anti-migrant Euroskeptic League party, praised the
police operation saying that "good times are over" for the
"business of mass immigration".
