Magistrates have requested that Matteo Salvini be sentenced to six years in prison for the events related to the ship Open Arms .

This is the request made at the end of the indictment, which was held today in the bunker room of the Pagliarelli prison in Palermo.

The leader of the League and the current Minister of Infrastructure is accused of kidnapping and refusing official acts for delaying the disembarkation of 147 migrants from the ship of the NGO Open Arms in August 2019, when he was the Minister of the Interior.

From the bunker room of the Pagliarelli prison in Palermo, where Salvini was not present, the fate of the Northern League leader was decided.

During the indictment, the prosecution tried to argue how Salvini had committed a "kidnapping" by acting "in violation of international conventions and domestic rules regarding rescue at sea and the protection of human rights", but also by "abusing entrusted powers" as a national authority of public security".

One of the key points of the trial, perhaps the main one, was exposed by the public prosecutor Gery Ferrara in his indictment: " When Salvini becomes Minister of the Interior, the decisions on the management of landings and the issuance of POS (landing permit, in a safe place) are shifted from the Department of Civil Liberties and Immigration in the cabinet of the minister and in particular it is the minister who decides". The ongoing trial, specified the public prosecutor Ferrara, "is not a political trial ".

According to the prosecution, Salvini, by denying the authorization to disembark the missing, did not perform a political act, but a personal choice that went beyond the governmental line of the Conte 1 executive, regarding the redistribution of immigrants in Europe.

A line denied even by the then Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte.

In the courtroom, the deputy prosecutor of Palermo, Marzia Sabella, during the indictment, stated that the risk that there were terrorists on board Open Arms among the unidentified missing persons was unfounded.

As the head of the Interior Ministry, Salvini "had the obligation to show a safe place for the migrants to disembark from the Open Arms ship," said Palermo deputy prosecutor Marzia Sabella, underlining the "terrible" psychophysical conditions of the migrants on board the ship. ship of the Spanish NGO.

At the conclusion of the indictment of the Open Arms trial, which lasted approximately seven hours, Palermo's deputy prosecutor requested a six-year prison sentence for Minister Matteo Salvini, accused of kidnapping and refusing official documents.

"We will demand the punishment of the accused", explains Sabella, recalling the 147 immigrants who were parties to the trial, "as well as to protect the limits of the law...", he said.

Antonio Tajani, current deputy prime minister and foreign minister, also spoke in defense of Salvini: " Salvini did his duty as a minister. I am convinced that there is always a judge who recognizes the correctness of a minister's behavior, whose duty is also to protect legality, and I believe that Salvini has done that ."

Solidarity also from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni: " The transformation of the duty to protect the Italian borders from illegal immigration into a crime is a very serious precedent ".
