(ANSA) Bari, October 7 - An Italian Marine who was held in
India for over two years with another serviceman for allegedly
killing two fishermen suffered a stroke during his time abroad
and is only recovering slowly, his partner said Tuesday.
Massimiliano Latorre "is undergoing physiotherapy and goes
to hospital every day," Paola Moschetti told ANSA.
The fusilier from Taranto did not have just "an ischemia
as was said, but a haemorrhage in a profound part of the brain,"
she added.
Indian authorities who had insisted the marines remain in
India pending trial allowed Latorre to return to Italy
temporarily for health reasons.
"Massimiliano suffers here for the separation from his
colleague (Salvatore Girone) and is sorely tried by this whole
situation," Moschetti said.
