Three Italians kidnapped in Mali returned home in 2022. Minister Tajani welcomed them at Ciampino.
The government thanks the Farnesina and the Aise for the work done. Father Pierluigi Maccalli, who spent two years in the hands of terrorists in Africa, expressed "great joy for the liberation of the Italian family kidnapped in 2022" The Langone family had been living in Koutiala for several years, within a fully integrated community of Jehovah's Witnesses. The family's release was made possible thanks to the intense activity initiated by AISE.
