Salvini hails Conte intervention on Diciotti

(ANSA) - Rome, January 30 - Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on Wednesday hailed Premier Giuseppe Conte's intervention on the Diciotti Coast Guard rescue ship whose 177 migrants Salvini is accused of kidnapping in a standoff with the EU last August.
    Conte earlier said the government assumed collective responsibility for the case.
    "I appreciated Premier Giuseppe Conte's words on the assumption of responsibility on the part of the whole government," Salvini said, stressing that he had not asked the premier to do this.
    "I didn't request it myself: besides, it is clear that in my actions no crime can be seen".
