Italy's Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini Faces A Potential 6-Year Prison Sentence in Migration Trial

 Italian prosecutors on Saturday requested a six-year prison sentence for right-wing League leader Matteo Salvini for his decision to prevent more than 100 migrants from landing in Italy when he was interior minister in 2019.

If convicted Salvini could be barred from holding government office, AP reported.

The prosecutors in the city of Palermo have accused Salvini — who’s currently deputy premier and transport minister in the right-wing government led by Giorgia Meloni — of alleged kidnapping for leaving a migrant rescue ship operated by charity Open Arms stranded at sea for 19 days.
