Italy: Matteo Salvini's "Maxi-Trial"

Hat tip Vlad Tepes and Gates of Vienna. Translation by Fousesquawk. 

Former Italian Interior Minister and Lega party leader Matteo Salvini arrived today in the  Sicilian city of Catania for the preliminary phase of his trial for "illegal detention of illegal aliens" (quotation marks mine)  while he was interior minister. It is noteworthy that the judicial proceedings are being held in a bunker-type facility normally reserved for trials of Sicilian Mafia figures with maximum security. Salvini's "offense" was blocking the disembarkation of illegal migrants at a Sicilian port. In other words, the whole thing is a joke and a miscarriage of justice.
