Never again an Almasri case, the Democratic Party's bill proposes

The presentation on the 23rd

The proposed "International Crimes Code" law provides for the full implementation of the obligations set forth in the Rome Statute, allowing Italy to cooperate with those countries that already provide for these crimes in their legal systems.

" Why has the criminal Almasri not been tried in Italy? Why can't Ukrainian women who were raped and are now refugees in Italy receive justice in our country? How can we prevent Italy from becoming a refuge for those suspected of international crimes committed in Gaza or Sudan? " The answers to these questions will be answered next Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. in the press room of the Chamber of Deputies, where a press conference will be held to present the "International Crimes Code" bill, co-signed by Democratic Party MP Laura Boldrini. The bill aims to ensure full implementation of the obligations set forth in the Rome Statute, approved in 1998, allowing Italy to cooperate fully with all countries that already provide for these crimes in their legislation.

Speakers will include Debora Serracchiani, Democratic Party justice minister, Democratic Party MP Federico Gianassi, Riccardo Noury , spokesperson for Amnesty International Italy, and the experts who collaborated in drafting the text: Alessandra Annoni , full professor of international law at the University of Ferrara, Triestino Mariniello, full professor of international criminal law at Liverpool John Moores University (UK) and legal representative of the Gaza victims at the ICC, and Antonio Marchesi, associate professor of international law at the University of Teramo.

Meanwhile, yesterday , Almasri's right-hand man in Mitiga prison, Khaled Al Hishri, better known as Al Bouti, was arrested in Frankfurt at the request of the International Criminal Court. For years, he has been cited in international reports, including that of the UN Panel of Experts, as one of the main perpetrators of torture, detention, and rape in the Libyan prison. "We are certain that Germany, a country led by a right-wing government, will not follow Italy's example, a country led by a right-wing government, which freed Almasri, sending him back to Libya on a state flight and forcing the Minister of Justice to lie in Parliament. This affair is the difference between Chancellor Merz and President Meloni, between a statesman and an influencer," commented Italia Viva leader Matteo Renzi.
