Italian prosecutors Saturday requested a six-year prison sentence for Matteo Salvini, Italy's far-right deputy prime minister, for blocking migrants from disembarking at one of the country's ports in 2019.
Salvini, a partner in Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's coalition, is on trial for alleged deprivation of liberty and abuse of office for keeping 147 migrants at sea for weeks on a ship run by the Open Arms charity.
