Protection measures around Foreign
Minister Antonio Tajani have been boosted after the foreign
ministry on Tuesday received a letter containing death threats
against him, the ministry said.
A threatening letter with death threats against Tajani has just
been delivered to the Farnesina, it said.
For days now, the Foreign Ministry has been stepping up
protection checks on all staff, with reinforced surveillance of
the building and checks on correspondence and any material
entering the Rome office, parliamentary sources said.
The same procedures for strengthening protection are being
adopted in all diplomatic offices around the world, they said.
It was not known if the threats were from supporters of
anarchist leader Alfredo Cospito, who has been on hunger strike
for over 100 days against the tough 41 bis prison regime he is
being held under.
