Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and key ministers are under investigation for their role in the release and deportation of Libyan prison commander Osama Njeem Almasri.

Almasri, accused of crimes against humanity, was arrested in Italy but quickly sent back to Libya.

Critics argue the government prioritized national security over international legal obligations.

Meloni claims the investigation is politically motivated, tied to her controversial judicial reforms.

The case has sparked tensions between the government and judiciary, with accusations of political retaliation.

Legal experts highlight Italy's duty to cooperate with international courts, raising questions about the government's actions.
