Interior Minister Matteo Salvini
said Wednesday "mission accomplished!" on the Sea-Watch 3 NGO
migrant rescue ship after six countries agreed to take in its 47
rescued migrants, but now the NGO's "conduct" should be probed.
"Mission accomplished! Once again thanks to the work of the
Italian government and the determination of the interior
ministry, Europe has been forced to intervene and assume its
responsibilities," he said.
"Six countries have agreed to take the immigrants on board
the Sea Watch3, coordinating with the European Commission:
France, Portugal, Germany, Malta, Luxembourg and Romania.
"On the basis of the documentation gathered, an investigation
should be opened to shed light on the conduct of the NGO".
He added: "there remains the wish that the judicial authority
takes into consideration the repeated irregularities by the
Gerjman NGO".
