In the early afternoon, the general commissioner of the Belgian federal police, Catherine De Bolle, visited the general command of the Carabinieri.
Received by the commander general Tullio Del Sette, after the usual honors and a brief welcome interview with the exchange of symbolic gifts, she met with the top management of the weapon to strengthen the friendship and collaboration relations between the two police forces and in particular to investigate possible forms of cooperation in the field of counter-terrorism and information exchange.
We all remember the serious incidents that took place in Belgium on 22 in March 2016: from the bombing at Zaventem airport, to the explosion at the Maelbeek stop of the Brussels metro, near the headquarters of the European institutions. Certainly the meeting took place between countries and police authorities that have the topic in mind, considering that Italy has experienced the painful season of the years of lead on the skin.
With this in mind, the general commissioner will visit the ROS command tomorrow, for a meeting with that commander, General Giuseppe Governale, where the issue of combating the terrorist threat will be discussed. ROS is strongly committed against international subversion, suffice it to recall last October's arrest against three North Africans, tracked down between Savona, Turin and Milan, under investigation for association and enlistment for the purpose of international terrorism, or the anti-Isis operation conducted in Rome in March 2016, which led to the arrest of two Macedonians and the issuance of a third order against a "foreign fighter" believed to be stationed in Iraq.
Today's meeting follows the conference organized by the Belgian embassy on the subject, held yesterday in the presence of the Belgian interior minister, Jan Jambon, De Bolle and representatives of the Italian interior ministry and police force.
