Giorgia Meloni stated on Wednesday, November 11, that no explosives had been found in the schools inspected after a series of bomb threats. The Italian prime minister spoke in a video posted that evening on her social media accounts, as many students had had to leave their classrooms.
Giorgia Meloni also indicated that"there is no evidence pointing to a concrete danger."The room-by-room checks, she said, uncovered no material threat in the schools inspected.
Giorgia Meloni recalled the false bomb threats that recently led to the diversion of dozens of flights in Europe, without any explosive device being found. She thus places the messages targeting schools within a broader series of threats that were not confirmed.
Italian investigators are working with their European counterparts to identify the authors of these messages, she added. She refrained from any speculation about their origin.
No discovery of explosives has therefore been announced, either in the schools inspected or on the planes recently diverted following similar alerts. The investigation continues into the identity of the senders, with no public indication of the origin of the messages.
