(ANSA) - Palermo, July 18 - Italian police on Wednesday
sequestered a Roma camp they said was "dangerous" in Palermo.
The Favorita Camp showed a "serious situation of danger for
the persons living in it, forced to live amid flying electrical
cables with the risk of being electrocuted, and amid illegal
waste dumps," a preliminary investigations judge said.
Palermo Mayor Leoluca Orlando, the owner of the site, has
been notified about the measure, as well as the head of the
local fire brigade, who has been named caretaker.
There is a criminal probe against person or persons unknown
for alleged illegal waste dumping and failure to comply with
official acts.
