School, Piantedosi: 'Directive to headmasters for metal detectors, also 'by surprise'''
The Minister of the Interior: 'Obviously it remains firm that if there are problems with the commission of offences, therefore judicial investigations, it can also be done in a different way at the behest of the judicial authority'
"In the next few hours, tomorrow at the latest (Wednesday 28 January, ed.), we will come out with a directive shared with Minister Valditara that we will send to the school principals and the prefects, which will mean that at the request of the school principals, therefore in full respect of school autonomy, together with the prefects we can decide to carry out controls in schools, in front and at the entrance, in connection with the growing phenomenon of the use of knives by children. The control can be carried out unannounced when requested by school leaders. Obviously it remains firm that if there are problems with the commission of offences, and therefore judicial investigations, it can also be done in a different way on the instructions of the judicial authorities'. Thus Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi to Cinque Minuti, in response to the question on metal detectors in schools.
Piantedosi: "With the shield the Milan agent would not have been investigated"
With the new 'shield' for officers, would the policeman who shot in Milan have been investigated? "That is always left to the judge's assessment, it is quite presumable that he could have enjoyed the benefit of the reversal of the burden of proof, because it is clear in this case that there was a very obvious cause for justification, because there was the display of this gun pointed at the police officers that looked to all intents and purposes like a pistol, a beretta 9 calibre. So somehow that makes it legitimate to think that there could have been self-defence on the part of the policeman."
