(ANSA) - ROME, 08 OCT - According to what is learned from qualified sources, the priest Pier Luigi Maccalli, kidnapped in Niger in 2018, and Nicola Chiacchio were released in Mali.
Father Maccalli, from the diocese of Crema, was kidnapped on 17 September 2018 in Niger, on a mission about 150 km from the capital Niamey.
In April Avvenire had published a video in which the Lombard priest as a prisoner appeared together with Chiacchio, whose traces had been lost, perhaps during a vacation in Niger.
