The former Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini, in the story of the landing of migrants from the Gregoretti ship at the center of the preliminary hearing in progress in the bunker hall in Catania, "did not violate any of the international conventions", his choices were "shared by the government" and its position "does not integrate the details of the crime of kidnapping" because "the fact does not exist".
This was stated by the prosecutor Andrea Bonomo who, at the end of his speech in the classroom before the Gup Nunzio Sarpietro, reiterated the request not to proceed against the former minister.
The Public Prosecutor of Catania in the filing request had written that "the three-day wait cannot be considered an illegitimate deprivation of 'freedom'", given that the "limitations continued in the hot spot in Pozzallo" and that "there is no obligation for the State of an immediate disembarkation ".
Furthermore, the prosecutor observed, "the political directives had changed" and from November 28 the Interior Ministry had expressed the will to assign the Pos and to "do it quickly", justifying "the administrative time" to implement the disembarkation of migrants " with the will of Minister Salvini to obtain a redistribution at European level ". In addition, on the ship "medical assistance, food and basic necessities were guaranteed" and "the immediate disembarkation of the sick and minors".
