>>Naples garbage men get armed guards as crisis escalates
The mayor of Naples on Thursday ordered armed guards to escort garbage trucks around his city, warning that organised crime rings were fomenting a grave waste crisis that is putting residents at risk.
“The environmental and sanitary situation is serious. There is a real risk for the health of citizens. The situation is made more difficult because the garbage is being set on fire,” Luigi de Magistris told reporters.
“We will ask the police to provide an armed guard for the trucks,” he said after signing an order that will enforce the new measure for 30 days.
