Immigration law to change over flow decree frauds, Mantovano

(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 30 - Cabinet Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano on Tuesday said the government is set to change immigration legislation in order to prevent frauds on migrant entry flows involving organized crime.
    "Over the past decade, many governments have announced changes to the sole text on immigration without following up on the intention.
    "We will do it in order to change, on an administrative and juridical level, acts that led to" frauds concerning migrant arrivals based on flow decrees, involving organized crime, in order to allow into the country "only those who have the concrete and certified perspective of working", said Mantovano.
    The cabinet undersecretary was addressing the parliamentary anti-mafia commission after Premier Giorgia Meloni on June 5 delivered a complaint to anti-mafia and anti-terrorism prosecutor Giovanni Melillo on entry flows into Italy of foreign workers over the past few years.
    The complaint alleged that regular migrant flows for work reasons are being used as a channel of irregular migration.
