Foreign govts shd hand over terrorists

(ANSA) - Cagliari, January 16 - Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Wednesday governments in France, South America and elsewhere should send back to Italy "terrorists" like Cesare Battisti who was captured at the weekend after 37 years in Mexico, France and Brazil.
    Salvini said Italy had police and intelligence agents working in France and South America.
    "Let's hope for active and loyal collaboration on the part of governments to make sure that after 30 or 40 years they return to Italy's jails criminals who are having a high time abroad", Salvini said.
    French European Affairs Minister Nathalie Loiseau said Wednesday that Salvini should give the French government any files he has on fugitives like Battisti possibly on the lam in France.
    "If Matteo Salvini has files" on Italian fugitives in France "let him give them to us and they will be examined by the justice system, case by case," she said.
    "Obviously with a spirit of responsibility and always bearing in mind how painful the year of lead were for Italy".
