The Italian authorities deported a 44 -year -old Moroccan citizen to her homeland because of the illegality of her presence over the lands of this European country, and suspected of trying to hold a “interest marriage” in order to obtain residency, according to local media in the northwestern province of Konio.
The same sources stated that the Moroccan citizen was initially residing legally in Italy, after her marriage to an Italian citizen, and that she obtained a temporary residence permit in May of 2023, to obtain another valid permit for a period of five years after six months of temporary permit; However, her husband died a month before this period, which has dropped the right to reside from his Moroccan widow.
The same media added that “the citizenship carrying Moroccan citizenship worked after the death of her husband as a social assistance to one of the Italian elderly, over the age of eighty years,” noting that she started the second marriage procedures from this elderly, but the authorities suspected that the matter was related to a interesting interest aimed at obtaining residency papers in Italy, through which citizenship.
The Moroccan widow became a search for the police, as soon as she learned of her preparation for the second marriage of an Italian citizen, who is more than 30 years older than it, as the authorities rushed to issue a decision to deport her before documenting the new marriage contract, which could have been an obstacle to the expulsion.
This incident sheds light on the files of many foreigners, including Moroccans, who suddenly find themselves without a residence permit over Italian territory due to the change of their personal and family situation. The Italian law for the foreign husband for an Italian citizen is permissible to obtain Italian citizenship, whether after marriage if he is legally residing for at least two years inside the lands of the Republic, or after three years from the date of marriage if he is residing abroad.
Meloni’s government in Rome has witnessed strictness regarding immigration and asylum, and the deportation of irregular migrants to their homelands, as the Minister of the Interior, Matteo Breitidosi, stressed that “the deportation of illegal immigrants who have criminal records or a threat to the safety of citizens has become important.”
The same Italian official pointed out that “the government directed the various regional authorities and strengthened its human and logistical resources in order to achieve this goal,” adding: “There are dangerous people, and I do not know if our opponents believe that it is right to remain in Italy, but we do not see that.”
