"I received another trial request because in August I blocked the landing of illegal immigrants from the ship of a Spanish NGO. By now they are all trying to stop me and frighten you: I promise you I will not give up and I will never give up, never". The leader of the League Matteo Salvini says so. The case is that of the Open Arms.

Patronage opened an investigation against unknown persons for kidnapping and omission of official documents. Then, after entering Salvini in the register of suspects, he sent the cards to his colleagues in Palermo.
