(ANSA) - Rome, September 2 - An Italian MP has offered to
swap places with one of two Italian marines being detained in
India who has fallen ill so he can return to Italy for medical
care, sources said Tuesday.
Guglielmo Vaccaro from the ruling Democratic Party (PD)
wrote to the daughter of hospitalized marine Massimiliano
Latorre, who along with Salvatore Girone is being detained in
India in connection with the shooting deaths of two Indian
fishermen in 2012.
Latorre was hospitalized Sunday in New Delhi after he lost
consciousness due to a mild transitory ischemia, or restriction
of blood supply.
The next court hearing in the marines' case is scheduled
for mid-October.
