Italy renounces trial of pirates arrested in the Gulf of Aden

(B2) Finally after careful consideration, Italy gave up trying the pirates that the frigate ITS Maestrale had seized at the end of May and will entrust them... to Kenya. It thus applies the agreement signed between the EU and the African country which in recent months has received nearly a hundred pirates (see the updated balance sheet). An investigating judge had been appointed. And a video conference had even been organised. In vain... the path of law and reason has spoken. On June 12, the government adopted a decree disposing of Italian justice. The Minister of Defense confirmed this at the end of the Council of Ministers.
