Overview

• The Chamber of Deputies denied authorization to proceed against Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and cabinet undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano over the Almasri repatriation.
• Official tallies were 251–112 for Nordio, 256–106 for Piantedosi and 251–112 for Mantovano, surpassing the absolute majority threshold under Article 96.
• The decision confirmed the Giunta’s recommendation by rapporteur Pietro Pittalis, who argued the actions served a “preeminent public interest.”
• The Tribunal of Ministers had sought trials tied to January’s arrest, release and state-flight repatriation of Libyan General Osama Almasri, who is wanted by the ICC for alleged torture, rape and murder.
• Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni attended the session as the governing coalition held firm, with some opposition votes reported in the totals and fierce criticism from opposition deputies during the debate.
