Chico Forti must return to Italy.

The Minister of Justice Marta Cartabia renewed the appeal in favor of the entrepreneur from Trentino, detained for 20 years in Florida for a murder of which he has always professed innocence, during the meeting in Washington with Attorney General Merrick Garland.

This was stated by the ministry in a note explaining that the Keeper expressed "the request for the transfer to Italy of his compatriot Chico Forti, so that he can continue to serve the life sentence in his country for which he was sentenced for murder and for which he is imprisoned in a Florida jail. "

Cartabia "provided the Attorney General, the authority responsible for the final decision on the case with the consent of Florida, with the clarifications requested on the Italian side's compliance with the 1983 Strasbourg Convention" on the transfer of sentenced persons ".

Almost a year ago, Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio announced his return to Italy after the governor of Florida had accepted Forti's request, who is now 62, regarding the benefits provided for by the Strasbourg Convention, so as to be transferred at home. But nothing has been heard since.
