Yesterday morning at the Viminale, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi chaired a meeting of the National Committee for Public Order and Security in which, in addition to Undersecretary Nicola Molteni, the top management of the Police Forces and Information and Security Agencies participated. During the meeting, a careful analysis of the terrorist attack in Moscow was carried out, including for the purpose of updating the anti-terrorism prevention measures already in place. During the meeting, the importance of continuing the careful monitoring activity, including on the web, by police and intelligence forces for the identification of possible risk situations on the national territory was highlighted. This specific prevention activity has made it possible, from October 7, 2023 to date, to expel 47 individuals for security reasons, including 9 by order of the Minister of the Interior. In 2024, there were 23 measures, 5 of which were issued by the Minister of the Interior. Also in view of the upcoming Easter holidays, an intensification of vigilance and control activities by the Police Forces has been ordered with the planning of specific operational, fixed and dynamic services, reserving the utmost attention to the places of greatest aggregation and transit of people, as well as all sensitive targets, in light of their possible upgrade.
