Heightened Security Measures for Sporting Events Amid Terrorism Alert in Rome

Special observed sporting events and meticulous spectator-by-spectator checks. The terrorism alert in Italy is present, and in Rome, prevention measures are being maximized. Iran's attack on Israel, a security summit at the Viminale: alert for synagogues and universities. Terrorism alert, utmost attention on sporting events. 'There is a very high level of attention on all events. There are spectator-by-spectator control services. Also because I remember that in November 2015, which became famous for the events of the Bataclan, there was an attempt to attack the Stade de France. So, there is certainly attention. Every event is studied and analyzed, and services are arranged to manage it safely,' said the prefect of Rome, Lamberto Giannini - on the sidelines of the conference 'Cybercrime and cyberterrorism, strategies for prevention and contrast' currently underway at Lumsa University - speaking about the security of sporting events that will take place in the coming months in Rome and responding to a question about Macron's call for an Olympic truce and the level of attention on sporting events. Rome, at the Jewish ghetto the day after: 'Sleepless night'. Tourist stays in the hotel: 'I am scared.' In general, regarding the citizens, 'they can record if they see unusual situations, turn to the law enforcement - he concludes - often they browse the web and can make reports to the postal police so everyone's contribution is fundamental.'
