Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni is under investigation for her role in the repatriation of a Libyan warlord, Khalifa Haftar, to Libya in 2017 when she was the Minister of Defense. The investigation stems from allegations that the repatriation was conducted without proper legal authorization, potentially violating international law. The case has sparked controversy due to Haftar's contentious status in Libya, where he leads one of the factions in the ongoing civil conflict. Critics argue that Meloni's decision could have implications for Italy's foreign policy and its relations with Libya. The investigation is part of a broader scrutiny of Italy's migration and foreign policy decisions, reflecting the complex interplay of national security, international law, and human rights.
