10 June 2023
Arrival by helicopter on the ship hijacked by migrants, then the raid in the interior of the Galata Seaways. Here are the images of the intervention by the "Leatherheads", who freed the hull in Naples, which (one of the cases under investigation) a group of illegals-some armed with knives-wanted to hijack. Three migrants were reported on the loose carrying weapons as part of the investigations as to what happened on board the Turkish ship in which Italian Special Forces intervened after an SOS sent out from the commander. In all, 15 migrants were found on board the ship and were disembarked at Naples, three of whom were treated at the Hospital of the Sea, two for mild illnesses, and one for hypothermia. Police and (Guardia di) Finanza (Finance Police) are investigating, under the coordination of the Naples Proscutor's Office, to determine what happened on board and to clarify the positions of the migrants. During the night in police hqs, the 15 migrants and the captain of the ship were questioned. The news became public when the defense minister, Guido Crisetto, announced the raid in progress during the interview with Bruno Vespa in Forum in Masseria Manduria.
