Italian officials to face trial over deadly Cutro migrant shipwreck

REUTERS/Remo Casilli/File Photo ROME - An Italian judge on Monday ordered six police and coastguard officers to stand trial for mishandling operations during a migrant shipwreck that killed more than 90 people near the town of Cutro in 2023, media reports said. The migrant accident, one of the deadliest in Italy's history, involved a wooden sailboat that set out from Turkey and smashed apart on rocks within sight of a beach near the shore of the southern Calabria region. The officials -- two from the coastguard and four from the Guardia di Finanza police force -- have been charged with multiple manslaughter related to negligence that may have contributed to the shipwreck, according to Ansa news agency. Under Italian law, prosecutors have to ask a judge whether to call a formal trial for the suspects after wrapping up their probe. Ansa said the trial is due to start in January. The decision to order the trial against the six suspects triggered an angry reaction from Matteo Salvini, the leader of the anti-immigrant League party and deputy prime minister in the right-wing government of Giorgia Meloni. "A single word: SHAME. To put on trial six officials who risk their lives every day to save others. SHAME," Salvini wrote on his account on X. Late last year, in a separate trial connected to the Cutro case, three people were convicted of aiding and abetting illegal immigration causing the death of the migrants and were sentenced to up to 16 years in jail.

Prosecutors identify woman, baby found dead in Rome
A security cordon separates the crime scene from public access inside Villa Pamphili park where an American woman and her newborn child were found dead on June 7, in Rome, Italy June 13, 2025. REUTERS/ Remo Casilli ROME — Italian prosecutors said Thursday they believed they had identified a woman and baby found dead in a park in Rome, after a US man was arrested suspected of killing the infant. They said in a statement a passport used by the woman identified her as a 28-year-old born in Russia. They said investigations revealed her baby was registered less than a year ago with the US embassy in Malta. "Thanks to collaboration between the FBI and the Maltese authorities, the victims have probably been identified," the prosecutors in the Italian capital said in a statement. The two were found dead in one of Rome's biggest parks, Villa Pamphili, on June 7. Italian police said on June 15 that an American man was arrested on the Greek island of Skiathos accused of murdering the baby and hiding the woman's body. Some Italian media published images of the woman's tattoos to help identify her. The popular RAI television program "Chi l'ha visto?" ("Who has seen them?") reported on its website on Thursday that it had contacted a woman in Russia who claimed to have recognized her daughter's tattoos. It cited the woman as saying her daughter had gone to Malta to study English, where she met the US suspect, and that her last contact with her daughter was an email dated June 2 in which the young woman mentioned problems with her partner. "Comparison of the victims' fingerprints with those on their passports will provide definitive confirmation of their identities," the prosecutors said. — Agence France-Presse
