Save the Children said Monday
that it is not under investigation in relation to a Catania
search of its Vos Hestia ship for migrant rescues.
The NGO said that the search concerned "materials for crimes
that, as things are currently, do not regard Save the Children".
It said the search warrant showed that the operation was
"related to alleged illegal conduct committed by third parties".
"We reiterate that Save the Children has always respected the
law during its search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean
and so, once again, we confirm that the organization is not
under investigation," a statement read.
It expressed full confidence in the judiciary and said it had
suspended sea operations "as planned, given the reduction in
migrant flows".
