Italin PM Giorgia Meloni under investigation over release of Libyan suspect
The ICC said it was not consulted on the decision and requested an explanation. In a social media post, Meloni stated that prosecutors accused her of embezzlement and aiding and abetting a crime related to the case.
She is not required to step down, and being the subject of an inquiry in italy does not necessarily indicate guilt or the filing of formal charges.
In a video posted on her data-facebook site, Meloni declared, "I will not be blackmailed, I will not allow myself to be intimidated, which is why I am, let's say, disliked by those who do not want italy to change and become better."
Meloni claimed that Alfredo Mantovano, the cabinet undersecretary for intelligence affairs, Justice minister Carlo Nordio, and Interior minister Matteo Piantedosi had also been placed under investigation.
