Italy taking migrants who can pay traffickers says Meloni

(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 22 - Italy is taking in migrants who are wealthy enough to pay human traffickers, Premier Giorgia Meloni said on a prime-time TV political talk show Thursday.
    In the management of migrants, she said at the taping of Porta a Porta to be aired this evening, "we have often penalised the weakest" and "those we take in are actually those who have the money to give to the smugglers, the others don't.
    "I do not believe that this is an intelligent way of managing the problem of refugees and migrants". (ANSA).
