Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni revealed on Tuesday that she’s now part of an investigation involving the controversial return of a Libyan warlord to his home country. Rome prosecutors are looking into claims that Meloni, along with two government ministers, helped repatriate Ossama al-Masri, a figure wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.

Meloni shared the news in a video posted on social media, stating that her justice and interior ministers, as well as an under-secretary, are also being probed. The case centers around al-Masri’s release after he was arrested in Turin on an ICC warrant. Critics say the government let him go on a technicality, sparking outrage from opposition parties, human rights organizations, and the ICC itself.

The move has drawn sharp criticism, with many questioning the legality and morality of the decision. As the investigation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this will impact Meloni’s government and its standing both domestically and internationally.
