The Hague arbitration tribunal for
the case of two Italian marines accused of killing two Indian
fisherman during an anti-piracy mission in 2012 confirmed
Tuesday that it has ruled that Salvatore Girone should be
allowed to return to Italy. "Italy and India shall cooperate,
including in proceedings before the Supreme Court of India, to
achieve a relaxation of the bail conditions of Sergeant Girone
so as to give effect to the concept of considerations of
humanity, so that Sergeant Girone... may return to Italy during
the present Annex VII arbitration," it said.
On Monday the Italian foreign ministry in Rome confirmed
that the tribunal had upheld Italy's request for Girone to be
allowed to return from India after ANSA broke the news. The
other marine, Massimiliano Latorre, was allowed by India to
return to Italy for treatment after he had a stroke in 2014.
