Former Italian interior minister accused of abusing power by preventing refugee ship from anchoring in 2019
Italian political leader Matteo Salvini appeared Saturday before a Palermo judge in connection with a 2019 incident during which he blocked migrants at sea while he was the interior minister.
Salvini, head of the far-right political party known as the League, is suspected of sequestration and abuse of power for having refused to allow about 100 migrants to land in Italy in August 2019.
