Overview
- The Tribunale dei ministri found no evidence linking Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni directly to the repatriation of Libyan General Osama Almasri and archived her position for peculato and favouritism
- Judges have asked Parliament to authorize proceedings against Justice Minister Carlo Nordio for omission of official acts and against Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi and Undersecretary Alfredo Mantovano for favouritism and embezzlement
- The tribunal’s final report was transmitted to the Chamber’s Giunta per le autorizzazioni on August 5, triggering at least five review sessions on the ministers’ cases
- The Giunta will vote publicly and the full Chamber will cast secret ballots on lifting the officials’ immunity, with a final decision on trial permissions due by October
- Meloni has defended the repatriation as a collective, security-driven choice and pledged to sit alongside her ministers during the parliamentary vote
