(ANSA) – ROME, FEB 6 – Government sources on Thursday denied a newspaper report that the International Criminal Court has opened a probe on the basis of a Sudanese refugee’s complaint against the Italian government over its handling of the arrest, release and return to Libya of wanted alleged war criminal Osama Almasri.
There are currently no proceedings opened against Italy by the International Criminal Court, sources contacted by ANSA said on the Almasri case.
The ICC prosecutor, the same sources explain, has not officially sent the Sudanese citizen’s complaint to the registrar or the judges.
The Sudanese refugee, they explained, sent an email to the dedicated email address of the prosecutor’s office.
There are many communications, each one is examined and only if it is considered well-founded can a proceeding be initiated, which takes months.
The whole thing is usually kept confidential, unless the complainant himself reveals it to the public, which seems to have happened in this case. (ANSA).
