No order stopped Diciotti migrants

Ministers' court trying to see what happened

Redazione Ansa

(ANSA) - Palermo, September 17 - No formal order was imparted to keep 150 Eritrean migrants aboard the coast guard ship Diciotti or to allow them to disembark after 10 days, investigative sources said Monday.
    Interior Minister Matteo Salvini is under investigation for alleged kidnapping and unlawful detention after not letting the migrants off the Diciotti until the EU agreed to take them.
    The EU refused, and in the end they were taken in by Italian bishops, Ireland and Albania.
    Investigators' reconstruction of the chain of command has come up against the problem of omission, judicial sources said: no one apparently stopped the coast guard vessel with clearly formulated orders.
    A ministers' court is trying to establish what happened.
