Italy engages Vatican over Indian fishermen’s killing

marines, arrested by Indian police this week, to leave for Rome after paying some compensation to the families of the killed fishermen, according to the report.
“But India is firm. Their case will be investigated here. And then, unless the courts decide otherwise, they should be tried here,” the report quoted highly placed sources as saying.
The Italian Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister was expected to meet his Indian counterpart Perneet Kaur yesterday and Foreign Minister Giulisio Terzi will arrive next week on a pre-scheduled visit to convince New Delhi that any of their nationals involved in criminal activity anywhere are subject to Italian law, said the report. The two fishermen, Valentine Jalastine and Ajeesh Binki, were shot dead allegedly by marines on the ship Enrica Lexie last Wednesday off the Indian coast of Kerala. — Xinhua.
