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.
