'Take kids away from thieving gypsies' - Tosi (2)

(ANSA) - Verona, April 14 - Flavio Tosi, leader of the Fare movement, on Friday slammed a Verona court for acquitting two Roma women arrested for attempted robbery. The women were set free despite numerous previous crimes because one is heavily pregnant and the other has a newborn child. "It's absurd that two thieving gypsies should go scot free and their children not be taken from them," said Tosi, formerly a high-up in the rightwing populist Northern League. Tosi has frequently campaigned on law-and-order issues.
