A court in Palermo is expected to deliver a verdict on Friday in a trial involving Italy’s deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini, who risks a six-year prison term for kidnapping for holding a boat full of migrants offshore for almost three weeks in 2019. Salvini, who was interior minister at the time, tried to prevent the Spanish charity Open Arms bringing 147 asylum seekers to Italy as part of his policy to close the ports to migrant boats and curb irregular arrivals.

Salvini will gain popularity like Trump did during his trials. because people see who is who. they see weaponized legal system against populists.
So if I rob a bank I have the right to keep the money "since I already got it" just like the migrants should get to enter the EU illegally through Italy since "they already got there"?
This is the strangest of all madness around illegal immigration. So he stops illegal immigrants, yet goes to jail?
