Italy: Transsexuals to be deported after prostitute's death
http://www.adnkronos.com/AKI/English/Security/?id=3.0.4028874976Rome, 23 Nov. (AKI) - Italian authorities are moving to deport 10 Brazilian transsexuals who were reportedly friends of Brenda, the prostitute at the centre of a sex and drugs extortion scandal found dead in Rome on Friday. According to Italian media, nine of the transsexuals were living illegally in Italy.
They are expected to be deported from Italy within a week and return to Brazil.
"They are people who engage in prostitution and are thus checked just like any other prostitutes," said Maurizio Improta, head of the immigration office.
On Friday, the transsexuals said they feared for their lives after the death of the Brazilian prostitute Brenda, which some have claimed was murdered and may have been 'silenced'.
