ROME (Reuters) - A German aid group that operated a migrant rescue boat in the Mediterranean said on Wednesday Italian magistrates were set to charge 21 individuals and three human rights groups with aiding illegal immigration from Libya.
The announcement came after magistrates in the Sicilian city of Trapani said they had concluded a three-year investigation centred on the Iuventa boat, which was run by the Jugend Rettet non-governmental group.
