Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is under investigation for her possible involvement in freeing a Libyan official wanted for serious crimes.
Osama Elmasry Njeem, who oversaw terribly cruel prisons, was arrested but then released; this raised concerns about the Italian legal process.
Critics suggest Ms. Meloni prioritized Italy's relationship with Libya, potentially overlooking international justice to manage migration issues.
Ms. Meloni insists she acted appropriately, citing procedural issues and security concerns; however, many remain skeptical of her explanation.
