Prosecutor in Open Arms case gets security detail

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 18 - Palermo prosecutor Giorgia Righi, who received several threats and insults on social media after requesting a six-year jail term for Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini on abduction charges in relation to the Open Arms case, has been assigned a security detail, judicial sources said Friday.
    Righi, one the State attorneys on the case and a magistrate of the DDA anti-mafia investigative division, was the only team member left who had not been given protection yet.
    Palermo State attorneys last month asked for six years' imprisonment for former interior minister and current Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini on charges of kidnapping and refusal to perform official acts for having prevented, five years ago, the disembarkation from the Spanish NGO rescue ship Open Arms of 147 migrants in Lampedusa.
