August 12, 2021 Matteo Salvini "cannot be charged in the slightest for any conduct aimed at kidnapping migrants for a legally appreciable period of time".

This was stated by the gup of Catania, Nunzio Sarpietro, in the reasons for the sentence that acquitted the former Minister of the Interior in the Gregoretti case.

"The formula the fact does not exist was adopted because the accused acted not against the law but in compliance with the primary and secondary regulatory provisions dictated in the case in question". In essence, the former interior minister Matteo Salvini acted according to the rules, writes the gup of Catania in the reasons for the decision not to proceed against the former interior minister Matteo Salvini, who was accused of kidnapping for the story of the Gregoretti ship.

The leader of the League does not hide the satisfaction, who writes on Facebook that "after so many insults, inventions, wiretapping 'alla Palamara' and political attacks of all kinds, to see the correctness of my work at the helm of the Interior Ministry recognized, in black and white of great satisfaction ". And for the senator of the League, Roberto Calderoli, vice president of the Senate, "the reasons with which the gup of Catania decreed the non-place to precede the Gregoretti case confirm and strengthen the passage for which Matteo Salvini as minister has not committed any crime" .

For Salvini's lawyer, Giulia Bongiorno, "the arguments of the sentence which, as firmly requested in the main by the defense, exclude with the broadest formula the existence of the accusatory hypothesis advanced against Senator Salvini, precisely because they globally analyze the line on the control of migratory flows of the Conte I government, by reviewing multiple landings of migrants on our coasts, will inevitably have repercussions on the proceedings on the Open Arms case pending in Palermo ".

According to the GUP, "at the time of the facts there was a specific and firm political line of the Italian government regarding the migratory phenomenon from the North African coasts to the Italian coasts, clearly shared by the two political forces that they supported the Executive itself, as well as by the Prime Minister in office ". Speaking of the Conte 1 and Conte 2 governments, the GUP writes that "the action of Minister Salvini, as well as the action of Minister Lamorgese, therefore took place under a well-defined political and regulatory cover, and was certainly not an expression of a mere personal initiative, completely unrelated to collegial agreements ".

For the GUP "it can be said that the policy of the Government in office at the time of the facts for which it is trial was clearly addressed on the one hand to a firm stance at European level in order to achieve the result of modifying the regulation of Dublin; and on the other hand, to induce the European Partners to accept, pending the achievement of the aforementioned amendment, the adoption of an automatic mechanism, albeit on a voluntary basis, of solidarity reassignment between all the members of the EU, of the castaways rescue ".

"Then, however, after the government crisis - writes the gup - triggered by the accused, and which culminated in the birth of the Conte 2 government, the political climate changed radically and, therefore, the former comrades of the first executive began to take the lead. distances from Minister Salvini in relation to the rescues of the shipwrecked, and to the management of the phenomenon of migration ".
