Spain starts checking travelers from Italy over immigration concerns
Spain has imposed security checks on travelers coming from Italy at its largest airports, following a dispute between the two countries over irregular migration. Around 200 passengers on 12 flights had their documents examined up until September 7. This comes amid heightened tensions after 72,000 migrants arrived in Spanish Ceuta in July, and Italy reintroduced border controls on flights from Spain, aiming to curb illegal crossings. The measures include targeted inspections of non-European travelers and are expected to continue until at least mid-August, with no impact on European Union citizens.
