Rome, Feb 5 (LaPresse) – "The expulsion of Almasri, given his dangerous profile, was carried out in the interest of safeguarding state security and maintaining public order—priorities that the government always places at the center of its actions. This decision was also made in defense of national interests, which the state must always uphold to prevent any harm to the country and its citizens."
These were the words of Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi during his briefing in the Chamber regarding the case of Libyan commander Naieem Osema Almasri, who was accused of crimes against humanity and later released by Italian authorities.
