❗️ICC complaints target Meloni, Italian officials for complicity in Israel’s genocide against Gaza
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni revealed that a complaint has been filed with the International Criminal Court (ICC) accusing her of complicity in genocide due to Italy’s backing of Israel amid its ongoing bombardment of Gaza.
She made the remarks in an interview with the state broadcaster RAI, marking her first public response to the matter, which the ICC has not officially confirmed.
Meloni stated that Defense Minister Guido Crosetto and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani have also been “denounced”, a term used to indicate formal notification of a potential crime to the court. She also mentioned that Roberto Cingolani, the CEO of Italian defense and aerospace firm Leonardo, may have been included in the filing.
The complaint, dated 1 October, was reportedly signed by around 50 individuals, including law professors, attorneys, and public figures, according to AFP.
