Overview

• A video circulated by Almasdar and reposted by Refugees in Libya purports to show Osama Njeem Almasri beating a man in a Tripoli street, but the attacker’s identity, the date, location and the victim’s condition remain unverified.
• Rada militia interlocutors and Italian intelligence contacts told Corriere that the footage is authentic yet likely from 2021–2022, and that Almasri acknowledged appearing in it while claiming the episode was non‑fatal and linked to a parking dispute.
• Other Libyan sources and outlets differ on whether the clip depicts a killing or a beating, underscoring conflicting accounts and the absence of independent confirmation.
• Opposition leaders including Elly Schlein, Giuseppe Conte and Angelo Bonelli criticized Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni for having freed and flown Almasri back to Libya earlier this year.
• Almasri was arrested in Turin in January despite an ICC warrant and then repatriated, a decision now under legal scrutiny as the Tribunale dei ministri has sought parliamentary authorization to proceed against ministers involved.
