AGRIGENTO, Italy - The German captain of a charity rescue ship appeared before a court in Sicily on Monday after she was arrested for forcing her way into an Italian port carrying migrants she had rescued off the Libyan coast.
A judicial source said the magistrate would decide by Tuesday morning whether to let her go or insist that she remains on the Mediterranean island of Sicily. Rackete had been in international waters for more than two weeks, waiting for an invitation from Italy or another European Union state to accept her ship, which was carrying 41 African migrants.
