Mukul Rohatgi, the lawyer who
acted on behalf of Italy and the two Italian marines detained in
India for allegedly shooting dead two Indian fishermen, has been
named attorney general in India, Italian television reported
Wednesday.
Rohatgi was appointed to the post by the newly elected
government of Narendra Modi, said the reports.
It was not immediately clear what impact the appointment
would have on the plight of the two marines, Massimiliano
Latorre and Salvatore Girone, India watchers said.
The pair have been held in India for over two years without
formal charges pressed against them.
