Italian woman detained in Hungary: Rome summons the ambassador. Ilaria Salis, 39, was arrested in Budapest last February and charged with three counts of attempted assault, accused of being part of a far-left organization.
She appeared in court Monday alongside her alleged accomplices, with prosecutors seeking a prison sentence of up to 11 years. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, head of the post-fascist Fratelli d'Italia (Brothers of Italy) party, has in the past enjoyed warm relations with Hungarian nationalist Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
