The two boats were detained on 2 September by Libyan soldiers for having trespassed in territorial waters. The Catania prosecutor: “A repugnant offer”
“Footballer” hulls – 18 Italian fishermen exchanged with four Libyan footballers. A bizarre proposition, if it weren’t for our fellow citizens held hostage by dangerous criminals. Because those who in the North African country consider football promises, for the Italian justice they are instead traffickers of men and murderers sentenced to 30 years in prison. And the sailors of our country have become the bargaining chip to get them back to their homeland.
The capture – It all begins on September 2, when a group of military blocks four fishing boats Italians because they entered Libyan waters. The crews of two boats – Antarctica e Medinea – together with two commanders they are brought to Libya and offered as bargaining chips. After refusing the proposal, the Catania prosecutor Zuccaro commented: “These men were not sentenced only for being in command of the boat, but also for the murder. of the 49 migrants held in the hold. merciless, bolting the hatch so as not to find them on deck. One of the most brutal incidents ever recorded “.
The appeal – L’waiting for the relatives of Italian fishermen it has become unbearable, also because the situation shows no sign of unblocking. “If a solution is not found within a few days, we will go to Roma with the families of the other hostages to make our voice heard even more by the Italian Government “, promise the two boat owners, Leonardo Gancitano and Marco Marrone.
