Assaults and murders, the common thread of failed expulsions: killers and violent perpetrators shouldn't have been in Italy.

From Rome to Milano and Bologna, a trail of blood that reopens the security issue: expelled or irregular subjects free to circulate in the city

Due ferocious attacks in Rome, an femicide in Milano andmurder of a train conductor in BolognaDifferent episodes, different places, but a common element emerges forcefully from the investigations: the attackers and killers should not have been in Italy, because already affected by expulsion or removal orders, never performed.

A series of bloody events that reignites the debate on urban security , the management of irregular immigration and the real effectiveness of administrative measures, which exist on paper but in reality often remain a dead letter.

A Tunisian man in his 20s , with a criminal record for drug offences , was arrested for the attack . Surveillance footage appears to have revealed a gang-bang involving at least seven or eight people . Police are working to identify all those responsible.

Not long afterward, another attack targeted a rider , confirming the climate of growing insecurity in the station area.

Arrests and checks: those detained also include individuals who had already been expelled

The police operation resulted in four arrests . Among them is an 18-year-old Egyptian man with a criminal record for robbery, receiving stolen goods, and carrying weapons. He had already been subject to an expulsion order issued in early January for being an illegal immigrant.

Despite this, the young man was freely circulating in one of the capital's most sensitive areas. During extraordinary checks in the Termini station area, 16 people were taken to the immigration office for checks.

The Deputy Prime Minister's political comment was very harsh. Matteo Salvini:
"There are so many, too many. Free rein for the police. Remigration, iron fist, and zero tolerance."

Milano, the murder of Aurora Livoli: the killer had been expelled

Even more disturbing is the picture that emerges from themurder of Aurora Livoli, the 19-year-old found strangled on December 29 in the courtyard of a building in Paruta Street, MilanoThe killer, Emilio Gabriel Valdez Velazco, 57 years old of Peruvian origin, has confessed not only the murder, but also the sexual violence on the young woman.

A crucial detail: Valdez Velazco had already been sentenced to 9 years in prison for rape in 2019 and, once released in 2024, he had been the recipient of an expulsion order , which was never carried out due to a medical certification that would have prevented his detention in a CPR.

Despite this, the man lived free between Milano and the hinterland, with further criminal proceedings pending, up to the final, tragic epilogue. The Public Prosecutor's Office Milano now evaluate the challenge of the crime of femicide, which carries a life sentence.

Bologna, train conductor killed: order to leave ignored

Same dynamics also for the murder of train conductor Alessandro Ambrosio, killed in Bologna on the evening of January 5. The alleged murderer, Marin Jelenic, 36 years old, he had been hit by an order to leave Italy on December 23, issued by the Prefect of Milano after being found with a knife.

A measure that required him to leave the country within ten days, but which was never carried out . When he was stopped in Desenzano del Garda , Jelenic was carrying two knives and was about to flee to Austria , having already purchased a train ticket to Villach.

The man, homeless and with a criminal record for carrying weapons and assaulting railway staff , allegedly struck the train conductor in the back with a single blow , puncturing his lung.

A structural problem: expulsions that remain on paper

From the cases of Rome, Milano and Bologna a common and alarming fact emerges: existing but unenforced expulsion and removal orders, which have allowed dangerous individuals to remain on national territory and strike again.

A short circuit between bureaucracy, lack of infrastructure, and operational limitations , which today has a very high cost in terms of lost lives and collective safety . An issue that concerns not only the emergency, but a structural flaw in the system, to which politics and institutions are called upon to provide concrete and immediate responses.
