(ANSA) - ROME, DEC 21 - Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini on Saturday said his acquittal in the Open Arms trial in which he faced kidnapping charges for not allowing 147 migrants to disembark from an NGO-run rescue ship as part of his closed-ports policy when he was interior minister five years ago recognized that he had fulfilled his duty and repaid him for all the bitterness he had endured.
