Italy: Prosecutor Wants to Put Salvini in Prison for 6 Years for Trying to Stop Invaders

It’s illegal not to have infinity immigrants.

You can’t just not have infinity immigrants.

Society cannot tolerate it.

An Italian prosecutor on Saturday asked a judge to sentence right-wing League leader Matteo Salvini to six years in prison over his 2019 decision to prevent more than 100 migrants from landing in the country.

The then interior minister, who is currently serving as deputy prime minister and transport minister in Giorgia Meloni’s government, has been charged with kidnapping and is awaiting sentencing following his decision that left the migrants stranded at sea.

Prosecutors had then ordered the seizure of their ship and the evacuation of the people on board.

The bans didn’t even do much

On Saturday, the prosecutor asked for Salvini’s imprisonment at a hearing in the Sicilian capital of Palermo. The final decision rests with a senior judge at the end of a three-stage judicial process.

A definitive conviction could bar Salvini from holding government office.

“I would do it all again: defending borders from illegal immigrants is not a crime,” Salvini said in a post on X on Saturday.

During his 14 months as interior minister, Salvini stopped several boats from docking in Italy in an effort to halt migrant flows. He regularly accused migrant rescue charities of effectively encouraging people smuggling.

He sure didn’t solve any problems and one could argue he didn’t really even try.

But just saying you want to solve a problem is illegal under democracy law.
