The Indian Special Court
in New Delhi has postponed a hearing scheduled Friday for
Italian marines Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone to
March 12, ANSA has learned.
Latorre and Girone are accused in India of killing two
Indian fisherman during an anti-piracy mission in 2012.
The Special Court, tasked with examining the incident
involving the marines, said the Indian Supreme Court is still
hearing the case and it has ordered that all other judicial
proceedings be suspended in the meantime.
The new March 12 hearing date is three days after a Supreme
Court hearing scheduled for March 9, when a magistrate will
verify whether or not the competent Indian ministries and the
National Investigation Agency (NIA) responded to a request for
an opinion brief regarding an Italian request to eliminate NIA
from the trial.
