Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces investigation for allegedly aiding the release of a Libyan official wanted for war crimes.
Osama Elmasry Njeem, known for running inhumane Libyan prisons, was arrested then quickly released due to a claimed procedural error.
This release sparked outrage from human rights advocates and opposition figures, who cite Ms. Meloni's alleged closeness to Libyan authorities.
Ms. Meloni vehemently denies wrongdoing, claiming blackmail and asserting that security concerns necessitated Njeem's repatriation to Libya.
