WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, UCADI #193 - Breaking News (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 As we are about to publish this newsletter, news arrives that the

Italian government has repatriated General Najeem Osema Almasri,
Commander of the Libyan Judicial Police, to his country on a Falcon of
Secrets, instead of executing the arrest warrant issued by the
International Criminal Court in The Hague for crimes against humanity
and war crimes, as manager of the Mitiga prison. ---- Such crimes are
punishable by a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. According to the
Minister of Justice, he did not validate the arrest because he was busy
sipping an excellent sherry, but more likely because of the news that a
good number of migrants had been embarked on boats departing from the
Libyan coast, bound for Lampedusa.
Commander Almasri is a long-standing member of the Deterrence Apparatus
for "the fight against terrorism and organized crime", a Militia that,
Amnesty notes, committed "terrible violations of human rights in the
prison of Mitiga" and was therefore convicted by the Hague Tribunal on
the basis of irrefutable evidence concerning him. It is quite clear that
his release occurred out of fear of seeing the wicked agreements
stipulated by numerous Italian governments, of all colors, to detain
migrants fall through, despite the fact that the torture and violence to
which people are subjected in Libyan detention centers are known and
documented, where they suffer torture, violence, rape, blackmail, before
being released, when they do not remain detained indefinitely without
trial in those camps. It is however likely that even greater was the
fear that in detention, if brought before the Court of The Hague,
Almasri, could end up revealing the content of these wicked agreements
and above all the names of his accomplices and his institutional
interlocutors, getting into trouble "respectable" people who cloak
themselves in their roles to continue to do their dirty work and make
money. By listening to him, the Court and public opinion could have
known the amount of the sums exchanged and therefore asked for an
account of the recipients.
What happened, if there was any need, makes ridiculous the bombastic
phrases of Prime Minister Meloni, who on the occasion of the Cutro
tragedy, said that she would chase the human traffickers throughout the
tenacious globe, which evidently for the Prime Minister has very narrow
boundaries, narrower than those of a bathtub, given that when she finds
them it is the only case in which she manages to carry out a successful
repatriation.
It was the Court of Appeal of Rome, competent in these cases, that
ordered the release of the commander, who was detained in the Vallette
prison, after being arrested by the Digos in Turin, where he had arrived
on Saturday to watch the Juventus-Milan football match. This is because
arrest on the initiative of the judicial police is not permitted without
prior consultation between the Minister of Justice and the Court of
Appeal of the Capital. Nordio, despite having received the documents
from the Turin Police Headquarters, did not submit any request and the
Court of Appeal declared "the irregularity of the arrest" and ordered
"immediate release".
