League deputy leader Andrea Crippa
said in a statement Tuesday that he was sorry about the
treatment Italian antifascist Ilaria Salis had received after
being arrested 11 months ago for allegedly attacking two
neoNazis in Hungary but that every country "punishes as it sees
fit".
Rome has complained to Budapest after Salis, 39, was brought
into court Monday on a chain and with her hands and ankles
cuffed.
"Sorry about the treatment reserved for Ilaria Salis and we hope
she is able to prove her innocence," said Crippa, whose
rightwing League is friendly with Hungarian Prime Minister
Viktor Orban.
"However, every country punishes as it wants and it's not up to
me to judge what they do in other countries".
