La Nia ha presentato il rapporto che accusa i marò. Nonostante
le richieste del ministero degli esteri indiano che ha chiesto,dice lui e
dicono i giornali indiani,pene più lievi ,la Nia ha presentato lunedi il
rapporto al ministero degli interni e in base a questo rapporto d’accusa si chiede di perseguire i due marò,in base
alla “Sua Act”che reprime la pirateria con la pena di morte. Queste notizie
sono apparse oggi sull’Hindustan Times ,e al giornalista dell’Ansa che ha
chiesto conferma alla Nia hanno risposto con un “no comment”.
Se la notizia venisse confermata,molti degli autori del
ritorno in India dei nostri marò devono cominciare a preoccuparsi,per non aver
rispettato le prerogative Costituzionali dei nostri due fucilieri della marina
e insieme ai vecchi rappresentanti del governo appaiono anche i nuovi
rappresentanti,che hanno pensato a raccontare le favolette,e forti di un
accordo di condanna basato sul nulla si sono cullati della loro malafede non
cacofonica come l’ha definita Mauro,ora dicessero al paese le cose come
stanno,prima di dirle alla Procura,e facessero quello che fino a oggi non sono
stati di fare,se hanno bisogno di consulenti chiedessero a noi cittadini l’importante
e che non li fornisca il “Capo delle
forze armate” Ha già fatto troppi danni.
Il gen. Fernando Termentini autore di un esposto alla Procura
di Roma ha dichiarato :”LE ASSICURAZIONI DATE A DE MISTURA IL 21 MARZO NON
VALEVANO NULLA COME HO PIU’ VOLTE SCRITTO E FORMALIZZATO ALLA PROCURA DI ROMA E
QUESTA E’ LA CONFERMA CHE SPERIAMO SIA SOLO
UNA NOTIZIA DESTINATA A RIMANERE TALE.
CHI LI HA ESTRADATI DEVE COMUNQUE COMINCIARSI A PREOCCUPARE
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E questo il testo dell’Hindustan Times
Fishermen
killings: NIA seeks death for marines
Saikat
Datta,
“The
National Investigation Agency (NIA), probing the case against two Italian
Marines for killing two Kerala fishermen, has recommended that they be charged
under an Act that mandates the death penalty.
The NIA
sent a report seeking sanction for prosecution to the union ministry of home
affairs (MHA) on Monday despite repeated entreaties from the ministry of
external affairs (MEA) seeking a lesser charge. The MHA, NIA and the MEA
confirmed to HT that the report seeking sanction for prosecution was received
on Monday evening.
Earlier
Salman Khurshid, the minister for external affairs had assured the Italian
government that the two marines would not be charged with death penalty.
Khurshid made this commitment after the marines went home on bail and the
refused to return to India.
Two Italian
marines, serving as security guards on an Italian-flagged oil tanker Enrica
Lexie had shot dead two Indian fishermen about 20 nautical miles off Kerala in
February last year.
The lawyers
of the marines, Massimiliano Latorre and, say their clients mistook the
fishermen for pirates and fired warning shots into the water. The two marines
do not admit killing anyone or aiming directly at the fishing boat.
At the
heart of the furious debate between the two ministries is a specific law that
was passed in 2002. The ‘Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of
Maritime Navigation and Fixed Platforms on Continental Shelf’ Act (SUA) is
clear that if anyone causes death, then they will be awarded with a death
penalty. This is stated in clause 3 (g) (i) of the Act which states: “causes
death to any person shall be punished with death.”
The MEA is
keen to resolve the issue and ensure that the marines are not prosecuted under
the Act because the courts may award them death penalty.
This would
be a violation of the commitment made by Khurshid, which they state, is as good
as a sovereign guarantee.
But the NIA
and the MHA differ and in the files that have gone back and forth, they state
that the prerogative to decide the marines’ fate is left to the Indian courts.
“There is
also a legal tangle here because the killing of the Kerala fishermen occurred
at sea, just beyond India’s territorial claims which extend up to 12 nautical
miles (NM),” a senior MHA official familiar with the issue told HT on the
condition of anonymity.
India’s
exclusive economic zone extends from 12 NM to 200 NM and the SU Act 2002
applies to this area. “Our logic is that by killing the fishermen, the marines
committed an act that jeopardised navigation. Since this was death, they are
liable to be charged with an Act that also mandates the death penalty,” an NIA
official dealing with the case told HT.
Incidentally,
the SUA Act also conforms to the UN conventions and laws of the sea. Sources in
the NIA and MHA confirmed to HT that they will stand by their position on
prosecuting the Italian marines under this Act.
After the report seeking sanction for
prosecution was sent by NIA to the home ministry, the MEA has taken the
position that they will “carefully take into account the legal position before
taking any decision
