Sicilian Prosecutor Wants to Charge Italian Interior Minister for Illegal Detention

Hat tip Gates of Vienna and Vlad Tepes


Matteo Salvini, the Italian interior minister, who is opposed to uncontrolled migration into Italy, is under investigation by a Sicilian prosecutor because he refused to allow migrants to disembark at Catania from the ship, Diciotto. (Four accused human smugglers are in custody from that ship.)  Here is Salvini being interviewed about the ship and the investigation. Translation by Fousesquawk.





Let's be clear: Salvini is protecting his country from uncontrolled immigration. He is standing for the rule of law and telling the EU that Italy will not be dictated by the EU to accept these people.
