Nordio, Piantedosi to report to Parliament on Almasri case

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 28 - Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and Justice Minister Carlo Nordio are set to report to Parliament on the case of Libyan commander Najeem Osema Almasri Habish, according to a note issued by the press office of the Minister for Relations with Parliament Luca Ciriani.
    The ministers are set to report to the Lower House on Wednesday at 16:15 and to the Senate two hours later, as agreed by members of the government and the speakers of the Lower House and Senate, said the note.
    Libyan police chief Almasri, the director of Tripoli's Mitiga detention centre who is wanted on war crimes charges by the International Crimina Court (ICC), was freed and flown back to Libya last Tuesday after an apparent technical issue with his case. The Rome court of appeal ordered his release on Tuesday due to a procedural issue regarding the alleged lack of involvement of Justice Minister Carlo Nordio.
    Almasri was flown back to Tripoli on a State flight and landed among jubilant supporters.
    Piantedosi told the Senate Thursday that he was expelled from Italy because he is a dangerous man.
    The ICC said it has asked Italy, which has an agreement with Libya to provide aid for its coast guard in exchange for cooperation on combatting illegal migration crossings, to explain the release. (ANSA).
