Govt to crack down on 'drug piazzas'

(ANSA) - Rome, November 21 - The government is to crack down on 'drug pushing piazzas' across Italy, Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Wednesday.
    He said an anti-drug directive had been approved to "prevent and combat" drug sales.
    Police will be boosted at known drug-pushing areas and procedures to deport illegal migrant pushers will be streamlined, Salvini said.
    "We want to restore to decent citizens the too many zones of Italy which are hostage to pushers and criminals," said Salvini.
    "It's just the start".
