Former MEP Giulietto Chiesa has
been arrested in the Estonian capital, Tallinn, his wife
Fiammetta Cucurnia told ANSA on Monday. Chiesa was picked up by
police at his hotel, where he was told he will be expelled from
Estonia within 48 hours. Cucurnia said Chiesa left Rome on
Monday morning for Tallinn, where he was invited to a conference
titled "Is Russia Europe's enemy?" The arresting officers did
not have a warrant, but they told Chiesa his expulsion decree is
at the Estonian foreign ministry, his wife said.
