Statement by Palazzo Chigi on the arrest of Cecilia Sala

The President of the Council of Ministers, Giorgia Meloni, has been constantly following the complex case of Cecilia Sala since her arrest on 19 December. President Meloni is closely coordinating with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, and with Undersecretary of State Alfredo Mantovano, in order to bring the Italian journalist home as soon as possible.

In agreement with her parents, this objective is being pursued by activating all possible dialogues and with the due caution, which it is hoped that the Italian media will also continue to observe.
