Italy PM Giorgia Meloni investigated for release of Libya police chief following ICC warrant

(January 29, 2025)

Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi opened investigations against Giorgia Meloni for allegedly aiding and abetting Almasri. This occurred following a lawsuit issued by Italian lawyer Luigi Li Gotti. Li Gotti stated he filed the lawsuit out of dignity. He claims that repatriation would allow Almasri to return to Libya and continue committing crimes for which he is accused.

Other ministers are currently under investigation. The prosecutor’s office in Rome sent notices to the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio, Minister of the Interior Matteo Piantedosi, and Undersecretary of State Alfredo Mantovano.

There was no immediate comment from the Justice Ministry.

Al-Masri’s arrest had posed a dilema for Italy, because it has close ties to the internationally recognized government in Tripoli as well as energy interests in the country.
