Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is under investigation by the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office for aiding and abetting the repatriation of Osama Njeem Almasri, Commander of the Libyan prison of Mittiga. She herself communicated this on social media, adding that Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, and Undersecretary to the Presidency of the Council Alfredo Mantovano are also under investigation. Almasri was subject to an international arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court (ICC). Almasri was arrested in Turin on January 19 after an Interpol "red notice" was issued on behalf of The Hague. The Prosecutor's Office sent an initial report to Via Arenula, followed by one from the Rome General Prosecutor's Office the next day. On January 21, after the 48 hours allowed by law to detain the wanted individual, and in the absence of a response from the ministry, Almasri was released but simultaneously expelled. After publicly revealing the investigation against her, Meloni launched a counterattack on Prosecutor Francesco Lo Voi, “the same one who failed in the trial against Matteo Salvini for kidnapping”, on lawyer Luigi Li Gotti, who filed the complaint, “a former left-wing politician very close to Romano Prodi, known for defending repentant like Buscetta, Brusca, and other mafia members,” and in some way also against the ICC, reconstructing the events: “The International Criminal Court, after months of reflection, issues an international arrest warrant for the head of the judicial police of Tripoli. Curiously, the Court does so just as this individual was ready to enter Italian territory after quietly staying for nearly 12 days in three other European countries". Then, after recalling the shortcoming of the failure to communicate with the Ministry of Justice prior to Almasri's arrest, which subsequently resulted in his release from prison and the decision to remove the Libyan from Italian soil, she makes the final comment, in which she quotes herself: "What was valuable yesterday is still valid today: I am not blackmailable, I will not be intimidated. This may be the reason why I am disliked by those who oppose Italy's progress and improvement. However, it is also the primary reason why I am determined to continue advocating for Italians, particularly when the nation's security is at risk". Later, the National Association of Magistrates clarified that what was served on Meloni was not a notice of guarantee, but rather the act required by the Court of Ministers in response to Li Gotti's complaint, with no investigations underway at this time.
