The New Delhi Supreme Court ruled today that Italian Marine Massimiliano Latorre can remain in Italy until 30 September 2016.
The Italian Government reiterates that, following the decision issued by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, Italy considers India’s jurisdiction over the case to be suspended and therefore legally overridden. Italy confirms its endorsement of the Order of 24 August 2015 passed by the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, establishing that both India and Italy suspend all court proceedings relating to the incident until the conclusion of the arbitral proceeding initiated by the Italian Government last June. .
Italy has also submitted to the Arbitral Tribunal established at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague a petition to pass provisional measures enabling Italian Marine Salvatore Girone to return to Italy and remain there until the end of the arbitration proceeding. The Tribunal is expected to deliver its decision in the next few days.
