17 cited for anti-Roma protests- Salvini

(ANSA) - Rome, May 15 - Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini said Wednesday that 17 people have been reported to prosecutors over recent protests against a Roma family being assigned a council flat in Rome's Casal Bruciato district.
    The family was subjected to intimidation during the protests by local people and members of the far-right CasaPound group and, in one incident, a woman was threatened with rape. "The police are working to guarantee the rights of the people who have been threatened and prevent disorder," League leader Salvini told a question time session in the Lower House. "No form of violence will be tolerated".
