The Italian foreign ministry on
Wednesday voiced "satisfaction" with the Indian supreme court's
decision that marine Massimiliano Latorre will stay in Italy for
the duration of international arbitration on the 2012 killing of
two Indian fishermen while on an anti-piracy mission with fellow
marine Salvatore Girone. A statement said it was "an important
step that acknowledges the commitment taken by the Italian
government with its appeal to international arbitration to
uphold the case of our two marine fusiliers". A court in The
Hague is expected to take up to two years to rule in the case,
which has caused tensions between Italy and India.
