Some 250 police officers will
be deployed against drug pushing in Rome every day, Interior
Minister Luciana Lamorgese said after a meeting of the capital's
public order and security panel on Friday.
"We have identified 20 drug pushing areas and eight other
areas in the centre of Rome where pushing coincides with the
'movida', she said.
"There will be a task force in these areas," she said,
adding that the plan will start out in Rome's "eastern
quadrant".
During the course of 2020, she added, some 550 police
officers will arrive in Rome.
