The end of the lockdown will bring with it a recovery of common and predatory crime and the attempt of the mafias to infiltrate the legal economy. This is the analysis of the head of the police Franco Gabrielli contained in a circular sent to all the Quaestors, prefects and to the heads of the directorates of the Department of Public Security which indicates the lines to reorganize the offices and calibrate all the services in the area.

Risks from socio-economic hardship
The approach used to date by the police forces - says Gabrielli - has been aimed at putting in place measures "aimed at limiting or even excluding at the root the opportunities for the risk of spreading the infection, primarily through the maximum rarefaction of social contacts ". In the phase that starts from Monday, on the other hand, the "primary and prevailing objective of protecting the health of the staff must be" reconciled ", to whose safeguard every action must be inspired" with the new situation determined "by the relaxation of the confinement measures" .

For this reason, the police chief concludes, the offices must be reorganized and the services must be clearly defined, "in the awareness that the transition from one phase to another can only be characterized by consistency, prudence and graduality". In particular, at least in the first phase, the checks will have to concern above all possible gatherings and all those places where a higher concentration of people can be determined: buses, subways, stations, supermarkets, villas, parks, squares and usual meeting places. The controls will also be accompanied by careful monitoring to then report any riskier situations to local authorities in order to remodel the methods and times of opening and review the frequency of public transport journeys.

The risks Gabrielli talks about, according to what is learned from police sources, would be connected both to a concrete economic hardship suffered by many business and job categories, and to the willingness of some to use the easing of measures to bring protests to the streets. various nature.
