Italian prosecutors seek a 6-year sentence for Deputy Prime Minister Salvini over blocking 147 migrants' disembarkment in 2019.
Italian prosecutors are seeking a six-year prison sentence for Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini for blocking 147 migrants from disembarking in 2019. Charged with deprivation of liberty and abuse of office, Salvini's actions kept the migrants stranded at sea for weeks on a ship operated by the Open Arms charity. The trial, which began in October 2021, may reach a verdict next month, allowing Salvini to appeal if found guilty.
