Twenty-six landings. On September 20, 253 immigrants arrive in Lampedusa, among them Brahim Aoussaoui, a 21-year-old Tunisian, the 21-year-old assassin from Nice who crossed the gates of Europe for the first time. He has no documents with him, but states that he left Tunisia, the North African country with which Italy has a repatriation agreement. Aoussaoui remains in quarantine for 15 days on a Red Cross ship. These are the weeks of controversy, with the number of arrivals soaring and the centers of Sicily exploding. Insulation disturbances and leaks to contain infections. Then, on October 9, with other migrants, Aoussaoui disembarks in Bari after being identified on board. The practice would include transfer to a CPR and repatriation. In theory, he should be “detained” for three months, pending his return to Tunisia. But it doesn’t happen.

The enemy that France cannot defeat
Nice, the Pope’s pain for the attack: but avoid comparing the terrorist gesture with radical Islam
Nice, the killer landed in Lampedusa in September: on October 9 in Bari, then as an illegal immigrant in France
Instead, he finds a removal order in his pocket, an invitation to go home independently within seven days. And instead Aoussaoui returns to Italy and, like so many, crosses the border with France, in Ventimiglia or Modane. And here’s another flaw: the lack of border control. On these two aspects, the Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese and the police chief Franco Gabrielli will be heard by Copasir. An issue that, after the lack of detention, runs the risk of generating strong tensions with France. In Nice, Aoussaoui is a ghost. For fifteen days in France he does not apply for asylum, he is not even registered by the associations that deal with migrants.
NO REPATRIATION
The illegal entry “into the national territory” of the Nice murderer, as shown in the file of the Bari Police Headquarters, is not justified by an escape or persecution. But 9,978 people arrived from Tunisia in September. Too many to be detained and all repatriated. The repatriation centers are also collapsing. In the case of Italy, Aossaoui’s profile is not among those to be expelled urgently or detained. As provided by law. He has no other expulsion decrees not respected, he does not have a criminal record in our country and, obviously, there is no international alert on that name. On the biweekly flights from Rome to Tunis, 40 passengers each boarding, that 21-year-old will never board. Nor will he be detained in Bari for three months. Tight deadlines tell us that information about your account in Tunisia is not even requested. Aoussaoui is liquidated with an expulsion order, an invitation to leave the country on his own. Instead, the killer aims north.
There is no doubt that Aoussaoui came to France illegally. Investigators are working to piece together the killer’s last 20 days and verify when he passed through Ventimiglia or Modane. And if he arrived in Nice thanks to the “passeur”, the transporters of men who have made a business of “clandestine” travel. Whatever the means, the circumstance reopens old and cyclical controversies with France, which has always accused Italy of not preventing, even in some periods of favoring, the flight of migrants from national borders and the movement across the Alps. The reject numbers are known. Thousands of people try to cross the border every day. In October of last year alone, there were 1,855 migrants blocked by the gendarmerie and returned to Italy. The accusation against the French police of having crossed the border to “deposit” unwanted persons has also created a diplomatic case and has led to the opening of judicial file. And now the Nice massacre will dramatically raise the issue again.
