The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, conveys her deep appreciation to the Argentine authorities for the arrest of Leonardo Bertulazzi, who had previously been sentenced in Italy to 27 years in prison for terrorist offences. The arrest came after his refugee status was revoked by the Argentinian Commission for Refugees.

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, received the Mayor of Amatrice, Giorgio Cortellesi, at Palazzo Chigi today. During the meeting, just a few days after the eighth anniversary of the quake that hit central Italy, President Meloni confirmed to Mayor Cortellesi that the Government is committed to completing reconstruction work and restoring safety and development to the earthquake-affected areas.

Eight years ago, a catastrophic earthquake devastated central Italy.That terrible quake hit at 3.36am, as we are all reminded by the stopped clock on the municipal tower of Amatrice, triggering a series of seismic events whose destructive effects were felt for several months after, involving an extremely vast area of our nation.

I was saddened to learn of the sudden passing of the National Guarantor for the Rights of Persons Deprived of Personal Liberty, Felice Maurizio D'Ettore. We all appreciated his dedication and professionalism, particularly at such a difficult time for the prison system. Also on behalf of the entire Government, I extend sincere sympathy to his family; our thoughts are with them as we remember such an honest and generous man.
