All crew of the Turkish vessel rescued. The boat had ended up in the hands of a group of 15 illegal immigrants, who had seized it with the 22 people on board. When the alarm came, the vessel was off Naples, making the intervention of the Italian special forces necessary.

"It is not a large ship, but our special forces, which are the men of the San Marco battalion stationed in Brindisi, are still reclaiming", declared the Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto , interviewed by Bruno Vespa in the "Forum in masseria" .

To carry out the seizure, migrants hidden on board : the ship was headed for France. It was the commander who raised the alarm, requesting the intervention of the emergency services. The military are now looking for other migrants hiding on board.
