The police commissioner takes up service in La Spezia Sebastiano Salvo, 60 years old arriving from Pisa. The manager was transferred after eight months following police attacks at the end of February on a pro-Gaza student demonstration, which led to the injury of some minors and the opening of an investigation. “I reflected with great serenity and I believe that when a rift is created between a city and the Police, as an institution, this rift must be mended as soon as possible. The police commissioner is the technical authority in a case like that, whose responsibility is an objective fact. I think this was the center of the public administration’s reflection”, he said this morning when he took office in the Ligurian city, admitting that he felt “great regret for me personally, but because the image of the Police was at stake who I’m in love with.”
Salvo returns to his region of origin having been born in Genoa, of whose police station he was chief of staff from 2003 until 2016, when he became deputy police commissioner, and was also on duty in Genoa during the G8 period, then he moved on to be police commissioner in Asti and Pisa. “I am a state official _ is his comment _ and I try to do my job as best as I can wherever it is intended. I take up this role at La Spezia with the same enthusiasm as always and without recriminations and I thank the public administration for having sent me to a high-class headquarters”.
Among the most debated topics at Spice there is that of gangmastering in the shipyard sector: “There is an investigative part to be done to understand what the input chains of foreign laborers are and there is an ethical aspect to be shared together with entrepreneurship”. The city is also home to a naval base and sensitive military industries and infrastructure. “The international climate we are experiencing leads to growing attention – said Salvo -. Physical activity is needed in the area but also the activation of investigative channels, sources open to information exchanges with the intelligence services”.
