The head of a Rome non-profit migrant
reception centre was cleared of favouring illegal immigration on
Tuesday.
Andrea Costa, president of the Baobab Experience non-profit, was
acquitted "because the crime was non-existent", a preliminary
hearings judge said.
Another two Baobab employees were also cleared.
Baobab is a charity that helps migrants who are transiting
through Rome.
Prosecutors had asked for the charges against the three to be
dropped.
Costa had originally risked 18 years in jail.
