Migrant arrivals to Italy pose a
possible terror threat, anti-terror and anti-mafia national
prosecutor Franco Roberti said Tuesday.
"We have seen no many occasions in the last few years that
those who arrive on the dinghies then undergo a process of
radicalisation that may lead, and this has happened in at least
two cases, to the realisation of terror attacks."
Roberti cited Anis Amri, the Berlin Christmas market
attacker.
He recalled that Amri arrived on Lampedusa in 2011.
The mass migrant arrivals "re-propose the issue of human
traffickers," Roberti said.
"We are no longer faced with a traffic of clandestines but of
human beings. According to the international treaties (the
traffic) should be effectively combatted above all at an
international level but we are still far from deploying an
international combatting action: it is indispensable to remind
all countries to take on their responsibilities".
