Overview
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and two ministers are under investigation for repatriating warlord Osama Almasri, wanted for war crimes by the ICC. Following his surprise release after a technicality, Meloni claims the investigation is politically motivated. The case has sparked criticism from human rights groups and the ICC, which had issued a warrant for Almasri's arrest for serious crimes committed in Libya. Meloni defends her actions as necessary for security and insists she will not be intimidated by the investigation.
