A link with al Qaeda is one of the possibilities being studied by investigators in the context of the inquiry into an illegal immigration network between Libya and Italy which resulted in the issue of 29 provisional custody orders in Catanzaro this morning. However there is no proof of this yet. Fourteen of the 29 warrants have been served so far, ten of which on Egyptians, Sudanese and Moroccans resident in Crotone or in nearby Isola Capo Rizzuto. The other four warrants were served in Milan (three) and Bergamo (one), on non EU nationals. The other people involved live abroad and are members or aides in the organisation.
