Italy’s head of government
Investigations against Meloni because of the release of Libyan suspects
An investigation was initiated against Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – because of aid and embezzlement, as announced in a video message.
The Italian head of government Giorgia Meloni is investigated. This is reported by the news agencies, and.
The public prosecutor’s office in Rome had initiated investigations against Meloni and two ministers of its government because of the return of a Libyan warlord sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC), the Prime Minister himself announced on Tuesday.
According to Meloni, she is suspected for alleged aid and embezzlement in connection with the case of Osama Elmasry Njeem, also known as Osama al-Masri. A corresponding procedure has already been initiated against you. The public prosecutor also investigates Alfredo Mantovano against Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and the State Secretary for Integrics.
Giorgia Meloni: “Don’t let me intimidate”
“I don’t let myself be blackmailed and I am not intimidated, so I am, let’s say, unpopular with those who don’t want Italy change and get better,” said Meloni in a video on her Facebook profile.
Meloni’s government is under the shelling of the opposition, human rights groups and the ICC itself because she had released Al-Masri due to a formality after he was arrested in the northern city of Turin due to an arrest warrant from the ICC. Later he was brought back to Tripoli in an aircraft of the Italian secret service, Ansa reported.
The government in Rome recently said that the man was brought back to Tripoli as soon as possible because of his “social danger”.
The ITHH accuses him of war crimes and crimes against humanity and called for an explanation of the release al-Masri, which is sought in a prison in Tripolis due to alleged rape, murder and abuse of migrants. The ICC said that he was not consulted for the decision. Since the civil war in Libya in 2011, he has been investigating serious crimes in the country.
The case is explosive because Meloni is heavily relating to Libyan security forces in order to prevent migrants from getting from the North African country to southern Italy.
According to Reuters, the inclusion of investigations in Italy does not mean that Meloni is guilty, nor that a formal charges must follow.
