#Libya According to what @repubblica has reconstructed, the warship 'San Giorgio' arrived in #Tripoli for a very 'special mission'. The @ItalianNavy has delivered the container-based maritime rescue coordination centre #MRCC via @ItaMilRadar
repubblica.it/esteri/2021/12…
The container-based #MRCC has been equipped by the Italian company #ELMAN with radios & AIS + integrated with NAVTEX & Inmarsat systems that will 'empower' the Libyan coastguard to intercept migrant boats at sea & redirect them back. elmansrl.com/mrcc-libya/
#Libya The @EU_Commission is financing the 'upgrade'. It includes the provision of new patrol boats & the establishment of a radar-supported surveillance network for the Libyan coast. europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…

Spero abbiate il tempo di leggere la nostra inchiesta su nave #Caprera, mandata dall'Italia in Libia per combattere il traffico di esseri umani. Alcuni dei suoi marinai hanno organizzato un carico di contrabbando + violato l'embargo UN sulle armi
nytimes.com/2020/09/28/wor… Image
L'ex ministro degli interni italiano Matteo Salvini a Tripoli aveva elogiato l'equipaggio della nave Caprera per aver impedito a + 7.000 persone di raggiungere l'Europa.

L'unico problema: la Caprera stessa stava organizzando un carico di contrabbando verso l´Europa. Image
Una prova fondamentale per gli investigatori sono le foto di una festa di addio. Le foto, condivise sul gruppo WhatsApp di nave Caprera, mostrano un sorridente Corbisiero seduto davanti a una grande torta al cioccolato.

Dietro di lui i sacchi di sigarette di contrabbando. ImageImage

I hope you’ll take the time to read our full investigation on how #Italy sent a warship to #Libya to fight trafficking &
🇮🇹 sailors gathered a cargo of contraband + broke a UN arms embargo.

On the @nytimes with @PatrickKingsley

#Italy's former interior minister Matteo Salvini praised the ship Caprera after it stopped ++ than 7,000 people from reaching Europe.

There was just one problem: the #Caprera was itself smuggling contraband to #Europe. Image
A key piece of evidence for investigators are photos from a farewell party... Photographs shared on the ship’s WhatsApp group showed a grinning Mr. Corbisiero sitting before a large chocolate cake... Behind him were several sacks of contraband cigarettes. ImageImage

#Libya In 2018, when I first met James, he had survived a Mediterranean shipwreck, been shot & spent years being abused & tortured. Two years later, I met him again.

📹James' journey back to #Nigeria & the harsh reality of return ImageImageImageImage
James was one of ~81,000 migrants returned home by @UNmigration sponsored by @EU_Commission.

What about people retuned to #Sudan?

Mohi, after 3 years in #Libya, returned to #Darfur. Once back, his package never materialised.

Only 766 out of +2,600 have received economic aid. Image
More about returns from #Libya

Sandrine, Rachel & Berline, from #Cameroon, agreed to go back to #Yaounde in 2018.

When I met them moments before boarding a flight in #Misrata airport, they had no idea where they would sleep when they returned to Cameroon. Image

#Libya pushback coordinated by @Frontex #Osprey3 asset & Libyan coast guard. ~100 people #Eritrea #Somalia #Sudan intercepted at position 33 38N 13 35E also monitored by #MareJonio @RescueMed @scandura

What happens after interception? ImageImageImageImage
#Libya #Tripoli @UNHCRLibya + @IOM_Libya offered medical aid/food at disembarkation. After some pics, people were transferred to militia groups. They simply disappeared in a well-organized & over-documented system of human rights abuses.

What happens after disembarkation? ImageImage
#Libya Survivors were forcibly brought a location in #Tripoli controlled by a #GNA affiliated armed group. They are now at risk of human trafficking & extortion. No food/medical care. No access of @IOM_Libya & @UNHCRLibya.

The cycle of abuses continues, sponsored by EU + IT. Image
