The trial in Ragusa against Luca Casarini and five other members of the Mare Jonio continues. The group is accused of “aiding and abetting illegal immigration“. But from the investigation papers, in addition to the certified supports of the Churchthe head of the CEI Soups admitted the financing: “€150 thousand last year alone” and the aid of Left (admissions by Orfini and Fratoianni), relations with the Libya. To the director of a Panamanian company, owner of Nivina cargo ship which – we read in La Verità – between 7 and 8 November 2018 had recovered dozens of shipwrecked migrants and had been forced to repair to the port of Misurata, where the migrants, in order not to return to Libya, had took the crew hostageCaccia (Casarini's right-hand man) made a proposal to Alame.

“Some sources in Tripoli – says Caccia and reported by La Verità – told us that it would be possible that the Libyan authorities authorize you to set sail from Misurata. If you can sail in international waters, we can organize assistance and disembarkation for you, 30 miles are enough to be free and safe“. But the other shipowner's response was clear: “We don't break international rules“. But it turns out much more, Caccia was in contact directly with the Haftar's spokespersonwhile the M5s-League government with Conte as prime minister tried to bring forward a difficult negotiation with the Libyans.
The chat of November 14, 2018 – continues La Verità – makes us understand many things about moves by the Casarini groupHunt succeeds through the Left parliamentarian Erasmo Palazzottowho is central to this story, to get to speak directly with Mohamed Ghunaim, spokesman for General Haftar, who holds part of Libya militarily. Ghunaim speaks precisely of the PD parliamentarian: “What I said to Mister Palazzotto is that we have a lot of evidence that the Italian government is treating with the wrong people in Libya. Sometimes with Al Qaeda! So we have to organize a meeting.” Then Caccia, now in confidence, goes further: “We we are against this government Italian, we can organize one humanitarian evacuation of the Nivin ship stopped in Misrata?”. Ghunaim disappoints him and replies annoyed: “Misurata is under the militias, not under the Lna. The one that the Italian government supports!”. Caccia: “Exactly the situation we want to change“.
