Agrigento prosecutor Luigi
Patronaggio on Wednesday boarded the Dicotti coast guard ship in
a probe into the allegedly unlawful detention of the 177
migrants who have been aboard the ship and prevented from
landing for two days.
The probe may lead to charges of abduction, legal sources
said.
The probe is as yet against person or persons unknown.
If it were to target Interior Minister Matteo Salvini, who
has ordered the migrants kept on board until the EU agrees to
redistribute them, the case will be put to a special ministers'
tribunal, the sources said.
