Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wrote on Facebook that the country was “doing everything necessary to ensure the safety of citizens.”
“For the moment, according to the investigations carried out, there is no element which indicates a persistent concrete danger,” she added.
Similar threats have been received by schools in the UK and Ireland, with more than 270 Scottish schools and more than 300 Northern Ireland schools targeted. Some schools in England and the Republic of Ireland have also received emails. Irish Education Minister Hildegarde Naughton said police had deemed the emails “not credible” and that “there was no need for schools to be evacuated.”
The latest threats come after several of Ireland’s major media outlets and at least 18 European flights were targeted last Friday, with at least 22 flights disrupted the day before, forcing some to divert or make emergency landings and prompting fighter jet escorts. Authorities found no explosives on board the plane.
ANSA reported that the threats against the flights were signed “Fighters of the Male State” – a reference to a Russian ultranationalist and misogynist movement that Moscow banned in 2021. The group’s founder has denied involvement.
