Italy hosts more Romanian immigrants than Spain
When prompted about the crime level among Romanian immigrants, Ricci said that, due to the high number or immigrants, a certain level of deliquency is normal. Moreover, he emphasized that Italian authorities can limit it properly and there is no need to incriminate the whole community.
Ricci revealed that in 2007, Romanian immigrants totalled 560,000 out of a total of 3,700,000 foreigners. As Romania joined the EU, another 60,000 to 100,000 Romanians joined their co-nationals in Italy. Ricci compared the data to those existent in Spain and found that Romanians in Spain amount to some 600,000 out of 4,000,000 foreigners.
