A group of 43 migrants returned to Italy on Saturday evening (February 1) after a Rome court ordered their transfer, dealing another setback to Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s migration policy.
The migrants, originally from Egypt and Bangladesh, had been detained in camps in Albania after being rescued in the Mediterranean earlier this week. Italy’s government had established these facilities to process asylum requests outside its borders, but the policy has faced repeated legal challenges.
This marks the third time Italian courts have ordered the transfer of migrants back to Italy since the first group was sent to Albania in October 2024.
The group arrived in the port city of Bari aboard a coast guard vessel, before being escorted onto buses and taken to reception centers. The ruling adds further uncertainty to Italy’s efforts to curb irregular sea arrivals.
