Jump to: navigation, search 2012 Italian shooting in the Arabian sea | The shootings occurred off the coast of Kerala state, India | Enrica Lexie at Kochi | Location | Indian Contiguous zone | Date | 15 February 2012
16:30 IST (disputed) (UTC+05:30) | Attack type | Shooting | Deaths | Indian fishermen: Ajesh Binki and Gelastine (Valentine) | Perpetrators | Italian Marines: Massimiliano Latorre and Salvatore Girone (accused) |
The incident sparked a major diplomatic row between the governments of Italy and India, with Indian police immediately opening a murder inquiry, and the Indian Coast Guard later intercepting the ship and arresting two Italian marines suspected of being involved in the shooting. The two Italian marines were released after 105 days in judicial custody under strict bail conditions and assurances from the Italian government that they will remain available to answer charges before Indian courts.
The Indian government allowed the marines to travel to Italy in February 2013 to vote in Italian general elections, after receiving assurances from the Italian government that the two marines will return to India. However, on 11 March 2013 the diplomatic row escalated into a stand-off when the Italian Foreign Ministry unilaterally announced that the marines will not return to India to stand trial. [1] On 21 March 2013, Italy backtracked from their decision and sent the marines back to India.
