Italy launched an investigation into the torture of Gaza flotilla activists

Italy started a judicial investigation into the role of 13 officials of the Zionist regime, including the minister of war and security of this regime, in torturing and harassing activists of the Gaza flotilla.

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, quoted by the Italian newspaper "La Repubblica", the Prosecutor's Office in Rome has expanded the investigation into the attack of the Zionist military on the aid fleet to Gaza and has placed 13 Zionist officials, including the ministers of war and internal security of this regime, under judicial investigation in connection with the accusations raised about the mistreatment of the activists of this fleet.

As part of the investigation into the attack on the Samud global fleet, Rome's public prosecutor's office has placed in the list of people under judicial investigation, in addition to Itamar Benguir, the minister of internal security of the Zionist regime, Israel Katz, the minister of war of this regime, and a number of senior military commanders, police officials and prison officials.

This judicial investigation is related to the two humanitarian missions of the Samud Global Fleet in October 2025 (October and November 1404) and May 2026 (May and June 1405), which were carried out with the aim of breaking the naval blockade of Gaza and delivering humanitarian aid to this region.

According to the report of this newspaper, the Rome prosecutor's investigation is not only limited to how the vessels were seized, but also includes the possible responsibility of political and military officials in the chain of command, as well as the detention conditions of the activists.

This case was opened after the complaint of 50 Italian citizens who were arrested during two fleet missions. These people said that they faced mistreatment and violence when the vessels were seized in international waters and after being transferred to the detention centers of the occupying regime.

According to La Repubblica, beatings, torture, theft and illegal detention are among the charges raised in this case. To investigate these claims, the Rome Prosecutor's Office has reviewed the testimony of activists, video images, medical documents and technical documentation.

The newspaper also reported that the investigation of this case is being pursued in cooperation with the judicial authorities of 10 other countries, including Portugal, Spain, France, Sweden, Poland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Australia, Finland and Slovakia.
