Romanian criminals arrive by the thousands in Italy - Government crackdown on foreign crime - by Christian Fraser

The Italian government has given local authorities the power to expel European Union citizens who pose a threat to public security. There has been outcry over a series of crimes attributed to immigrants, mostly Romanian. Since Romania's accession to the EU this year, the authorities say that over 1,000 Romanian immigrants have arrived in Italy each month.Since June last year 76 murders have been committed by Romanians.

Mr Prodi believes Italy is not alone in facing this new wave of crime and he has called on Europe's home office ministers to meet and find a solution.

Sorry Christian, there is no proof that there are thousands of romanian criminals entering Italy. You just compile dates and write them down in a sensationalistic style. What about real journalism?
