Between the month of May and the beginning of June, theImmigration Office of the Piacenza Police Headquarters has intensified police activities to track down illegal foreign citizens on national territory, managing to carry out the repatriation of eight foreigners in the countries of origin, including Albania, Tanzania and the Dominican Republic. This result was achieved – explains a note from Viale Malta – through the effective coordination of the activities within the competence of all the Police Headquarters offices which made it possible not only to identify subjects present in the Piacenza area in the absence of a residence permit, but also to monitor and combat any failure to comply with alternative measures to forced repatriation.
An intervention of this type, for example, was necessary in relation to a 45-year-old citizen of the Dominican Republic, with a police record, already the recipient of an expulsion order and in default of the voluntary departure measure. Traced in the area by the police, he was made available to the Immigration Office which, after obtaining validation of the accompaniment provision at the border, carried out the repatriation to his country of origin. Similarly, thanks to the preventive identification and verification of the expulsion conditions for foreign citizens detained at the local prison, it was possible to carry out the repatriation of a Tanzanian citizen, released after having served a sentence of 3 years and 2 months for drug crimes. Other three people, however, of Albanian citizenshipalready detained for crimes against property, were accompanied to the border in execution of the expulsion ordered by the Judicial Authority as an alternative measure to detention.
Finally, the Immigration Office also carried out some extraordinary control activities in the territory as a result of which, on several occasions, three foreign citizens in irregular conditions, including a man with a history of drug dealing and a woman with a police history of aiding and abetting prostitution. All were accompanied to the border to be repatriated to their country of origin, Albania. The commitment made by the Immigration Office has also made it possible to intervene effectively against illegal foreign citizens on the national territory, even in the absence of the conditions necessary for repatriation: in the reference period, in fact, foreign citizens with criminal and police records for crimes against property or drugs, four accompaniments to the detention centers in Milan, Gorizia and Macomer to complete the identification procedures required for subsequent repatriation to the countries of origin.
