EXCLUSIVE - 'We don't want ANY refugees here': George Clooney's super rich Lake Como neighbours say Italian idyll is being RUINED by migrants on their doorstep after Switzerland closes its border

  • Wealthy locals show little sympathy for migrants gathering in Italian idyll as makeshift camps erected across Como
  • Lake Como has long served as tranquil paradise for the rich and famous including Madonna and Donatella Versace
  • Hundreds of migrants sleeping in parks and railway station as Switzerland closes its border closed in crackdown
  • Residents say migrants are not welcome and will stretch resources to breaking point - and deter tourists


George Clooney's wealthy neighbours in the Alpine beauty spot of Lake Como say their Italian idyll is being ruined by the influx of hundreds of migrants to a makeshift camp on their doorstep.

The picturesque area is best known as a hide-away for Clooney and a multitude of other Hollywood A-listers includ Brad Pitt, wife Angelina Jolie, and pop superstar Madonna.

But a clamp-down by Switzerland on illegal immigrants entering the country from Italy threatens to turn this chic resort into a frontier town overrun by the homeless and desperate.
