He heads the Tripoli branch of the Reform and Rehabilitation Institution, a network of detention centres controlled by the government-backed Special Defence Force.The ICC warrant, published on the court&#8217;s website, accuses al-Masri of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed at Mitiga prison in Libya from 2015 onwards, including murder, torture, rape, and sexual violence \u2014 offences that carry a life sentence.However, the Italian government insists that Rome\u2019s court of appeal ordered his release due to a technical issue in how the ICC warrant was transmitted, as it initially bypassed the Italian justice ministry.Nordio reiterated this argument, stating he had only received an \u201cinformal email of a few lines\u201d from Interpol three hours after al-Masri\u2019s arrest. He also pointed to contradictions in the original warrant, which initially stated the crimes occurred between 2015 and 2024, but in its conclusions, referred to offences committed from \u201c2011 onwards\u201d.\u201cAn irreconcilable contradiction emerges regarding an essential element of the arrestee\u2019s criminal conduct, regarding the time of the crime committed,\u201d Nordio added.However, when the ICC publicly unsealed the warrant on 24 January, it issued an amended version to \u201ccorrect certain typographical and clerical errors\u201d. The updated document confirmed the timeframe as 2015-2024.Accusations of breaching ICC obligationsHuman rights groups have condemned Italy\u2019s decision to repatriate al-Masri, calling it a major violation of its responsibilities as a founding member of the ICC.Under Article 89 of the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court in 1998, signatories are obligated to comply with arrest and surrender requests.Opposition lawmakers have seized on the controversy to criticise Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, demanding she personally address parliament on the matter. During Wednesday\u2019s session, they held up placards reading: \u201cMeloni, patriot at large\u201d.Italy has strong ties with Libya\u2019s internationally recognised government, whose help it relies on to curb migration across the Mediterranean from the North African coast.ADVERTISEMENTCritics have accused Meloni&#8217;s government of capitulating to pressure from Libyan militias, allegedly out of fears that had al-Masri been handed over to the ICC, they would retaliate by increasing the number of migrant boats sent towards Italy.However, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, who also addressed parliament on Wednesday, dismissed any suggestion that al-Masri had acted as a government intermediary on migration issues. He also denied that Italy had received threats in connection with his arrest. Opposition leader Elly Schlein of the Democratic Party sharply criticised Nordio\u2019s defence, arguing that his legal justifications for dismissing the ICC warrant were misplaced.\u201cMinister Nordio, you didn\u2019t speak to this chamber as a minister, but as the defence lawyer of a torturer,\u201d Schlein said.ADVERTISEMENTNordio\u2019s critique of the ICC aligns with the government\u2019s broader attempt to shift focus onto the judiciary\u2019s handling of the case. Last week, Rome\u2019s chief prosecutor informed Meloni, Nordio, Piantedosi, and another senior official that they were under investigation for allegedly facilitating irregular migration by repatriating al-Masri.Meloni has spent days denouncing what she describes as political interference from Italy\u2019s judiciary and defending the government\u2019s decision, framing it as a matter of national security.\u201cWhen the security of the nation and the interests of Italians are in play, there is no room for backing down,\u201d she wrote on X on 29 January.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs in Arabic Carlo Nordio argued that the ICC\u2019s arrest warrant contained contradictions and procedural flaws, leading Italy\u2019s courts to order Ossama al-Masri\u2019s release.
