“Nobody should be prosecuted for helping people in need,” said Carola Rackete. “The Court confirmed that they should not have arrested me for saving lives. This is an important verdict for all aid workers” of the ships involved in the bailouts in the Mediterranean.
“We don’t know the reasons yet, but now we know for sure that we were right: Carola Rackete was not to be arrested,” lawyer Leonardo Marino, the German commander’s lawyer, told Adnkronos. “We will see now if the Prosecutor of Agrigento will follow up on this ruling by the Cassation – he continues – or if he will go ahead on this thesis, which we believe to be insane. Arrested because he had saved human lives”.
Salvini, for Rackete no to trial, for me yes “Injustice in Italy is incredible. It is believed that a German young lady, who risked killing Italian soldiers, should not be tried. Instead, a minister who defended the borders of his country is to be tried. They do, send me to trial, but there will be a need for a very large court because I think the vast majority of the Italian people will be with me. ” Matteo Salvini told Riace about it
