Centre-right leader Silvio
Berlusconi called for the expulsion of thousands of migrants
after a racist sooting that shocked Italy at the weekend.
Luca Troili, a 28-year-old militant for the anti-migrant
league, shot and wounded six migrants in a drive-by shooting
spree in the Marche city Macerata days after the discovery there
of the body of an 18-year-old Italian woman allegedly killed and
dismembered by a Nigerian immigrant.
"600,000 migrants are a social bomb that risks exploding,"
said Berlusconi, echoing League leader Matteo Salvini who said
"those who fill us with migrants instigate violence" like
Troili's.
Salvini's critics have accused him with his incessant
anti-migrant invective of "morally arming" Troili, who is now
being held in the same jail as Innocent Oseghale, the alleged
drug pusher who allegedly killed recovering drug addict Pamela
Mastropietro before stuffing her hacked-up body into two
suitcases and dumping them near Macerata.
