Thank you Italians says Latorre (2)

(ANSA) - Bari, September 28 - Italian marine Massimiliano Latorre on Wednesday told ANSA he was grateful to "all Italians" for supporting his successful bid to be allowed to spend the duration of international arbitration in the 2012 Indian fishermen shooting case at home in Italy following a ruling by the Indian supreme court. "In these two years that have not been easy, this is the second favourable goal reached after the return to Italy of my colleague (Salvatore) Girone," he said. I take the opportunity to thank once again the Italian president for the honour and joy he granted me in meeting me, as well as all the Italians, the marine associations and the friends on social networks who never abandoned me and who will remain in my heart for the rest of my life". A court in The Hague is to rule on which of the two countries, India or Italy, has jurisdiction in the case, which has caused friction between Rome and New Delhi.
