The Government is working to bring back to Italy Cecilia Sala , the journalist arrested before Christmas in Tehran . This is what the Farnesina assures, which is dealing with the case and which has asked – as has Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni – for «maximum caution and discretion».
Sala, explained Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, is "in good health" , but remains in prison, in isolation, in the Iranian capital.
According to leaks, the arrest of the journalist by the Iranian authorities is linked to the arrest, at Malpensa airport, of a 38-year-old Iranian engineer wanted in the United States for terrorism and for whom the Washington authorities have already requested extradition.
The negotiations, therefore, would continue on a dual track, with the European Commission also stating that it was "following the case closely".
