Italy's justice minister Carlo Nordio defended the government's decision to repatriate Libyan warlord Ossama al-Masri, arguing that the ICC made errors in its arrest warrant. The Italian government faced criticism for releasing al-Masri, who is accused of war crimes, citing a technical issue with the warrant's transmission. Human rights groups condemned the decision as a violation of ICC obligations, while opposition lawmakers criticized Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's handling of the situation.
