Italy lifts Matteo Salvini’s immunity over refusal to allow migrant ship to dock

Italy Politics

The Italian Senate has voted to lift Matteo Salvini’s immunity, clearing the way for possible charges against the country’s former interior minister for refusing to allow 164 migrants to get off a ship in Sicily.

The case from last August is the third involving a rescue ship stand-off in which Italian prosecutors have sought kidnapping charges against Mr Salvini.
