ROME - The German captain of a migrant rescue ship will sue Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini for defamation, her lawyer said on Friday, intensifying the battle of wills between the charity worker and the far-right leader.
Salvini has repeatedly denounced Rackete, calling her a “pirate” and an “outlaw”, and promising to expel her from Italy. “A defamation case is a way of sending a signal. When people get hit in the wallet they understand that they cannot insult people gratuitously,” Gamberini said, referring to the fines that might be inflicted on Salvini if he loses the case.
Rackete herself still faces possible charges of aiding illegal immigration and disregarding public officials and will be questioned in Sicily by magistrates next week. Her Sea-Watch 3 boat has been impounded as the investigation continues.Since taking office a year ago, Salvini has introduced a battery of anti-migrant measures, leading to a sharp decline in new arrivals also in the number of charity ships operating off the coast of Libya in search of flimsy migrant boats.
“Any eventual deterioration of the situation on board can therefore only be the exclusive responsibility of the flag-state and the commander and crew of the Alan Kurdi,” he wrote. There was no immediate response from Seehofe.
