France is suspected of having
tried to send minors back over the Italian border, interior
ministry sources said on Tuesday.
The sources said Italian officials are running a series of
checks on an incident that took place on October 18 at around
22:30.
Officials are said to have stopped the attempted pushback
during a visit by experts sent by the ministry to the town of
Claviere, near the French border.
There has been tension between Rome and Paris after Interior
Minister Matteo Salvini reported incidents of French police
entering Italian territory to drop off migrants on the other
side of the border.
