The Rome Court of Ministers on Monday dismissed a case against Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, related to the release of a man wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged crimes against humanity.

Prosecutors will continue to bring charges against Italy’s Justice Minister Carlo Nordio, Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi, and Cabinet Secretary Alfredo Mantovano. Meloni commented on X that she believes it is absurd to drop charges against her when it would be impossible for government officials to make these types of decisions without consulting her.

The case involves the detention and release of Osama Almasri Njeem, a Libyan policeman who was repatriated in January. Njeem serves as the head of the Tripoli branch of the Reform and Rehabilitation Institution, a network of detention centers notorious for its systematic abuse and violations of human rights, including torture and inhumane treatment. Such practices have been repeatedly cited in a report by the UN Human Rights Council. He is wanted by the ICC for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes, specifically imprisonment, murder, torture, outrages upon personal dignity, and sexual violence under Articles 7 and 8 of the Rome Statute.

Meloni claimed the request for arrest by the ICC was not delivered to the Italian Ministry of Justice, which led to the request not being validated. Afterwards, Meloni justified the decision to repatriate Njeem for the security of Italian citizens. Nordio alleged that the arrest warrant was “marked by inaccuracies, omissions, discrepancies and contradictory conclusions.”

Under Article 86 of the Rome Statute, states have a general obligation to cooperate with the ICC. Italian officers detained Njeem in Turin before his release without consulting the ICC on January 21.
