Russia will send an employee of the Italian embassy in Moscow in response to similar actions of Rome in relation to Russian diplomats. The appropriate application is published on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
In the foreign policy department, they said that the assistant attache on defense issues Kursio PachiFichi was ordered to leave the territory of Russia during the day. The expulsion of the Italian diplomat became the answer to “unfriendly and unfulfilled actions of the Italian authorities in relation to military attachment at the Russian Embassy in Rome.”
It is reported that the ministry informed the Italian ambassador Pascual Tereratchano about his decision earlier on Monday, April 26.
March 31, Italy sent two employees of Russian diplomices. Local authorities argue that the Navy officer and the Russian Embassy officer in Rome were detained on espionage charges. It is reported that on March 30, the captain of the Italian fleet allegedly conveyed to Russian military secret documents in exchange for 5 thousand euros.
