The International Criminal Court (ICC) is seeking answers from Italy after a Libyan man suspected of war crimes and crimes against humanity was released. Italy detained Osama Elmasry Njeem on Sunday in Turin after receiving an arrest warrant from the ICC. However, he was unexpectedly freed on Tuesday due to a legal technicality. The ICC said it had not been consulted or notified about the release and is seeking verification from Italian authorities. The release is likely to cause embarrassment for the Italian government.
