The Italian police have arrested twenty-five Mafiosi in a large-scale operation in Sicily. The 49-year-old Maria Angela Di Trapani is one of the 'biggest fish' that the police managed to capture.
The Italian authorities seized the Iuventa, the ship of the German aid organization 'Jugend Rettet' (JR) on Wednesday. The prosecutor of Trapani in Sicily decided to do so because JR is guilty of promoting illegal immigration. The crew would have taken on board migrants several times, escorted by Libyan smugglers and not in danger.
Due to forest fires in the extreme northwest of Sicily, nine hundred people were to be evacuated by a tourist village on the coast, Calampiso, on Wednesday. Italian media reported that tourists had taken a boat by boat to the larger San Vito Lo Capo and were taken to school buildings.
