Civil fleet condemns Italy's new law fining migrant rescuers up to €1m
Italian deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini talks to journalists in Rome today
THE civil fleet has condemned Italy’s decision to increase fines on NGOs that bring rescued non-Europeans from the Mediterranean to the country up to €1 million (£917,000).
The Italian Senate voted 160 to 57 in favour of passing far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini’s security bill on Monday night.
All that is left for the Bill to become law is for President Sergio Mattarella to ratify it.
