Nordio 'satisfied' at Salis release to house arrest

(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 15 - Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said Wednesday he was "satisfied" that Italian anti-fascist Ilaria Salis had been released to house arrest in Budapest where she is on trial for attacking NeoNazis last year and where her detention conditions over the last 15 months have spurred protests from Italy.
    "I should like to express my satisfaction for the news that we have receive don the granting of house arrest to Ilaria Salis," Nordio said at question time in the House.
    Italy has been working to secure Salis's move to house arrest after she was repeatedly led into court on a chain with her hands and ankles cuffed, which Hungary says is standard procedure there but which provoked strong reactions in Italy.
