Magozaoui and Khashiba Back in Tripoli
Libyan athletes Mohamed El Mzoggi and Mohannad Khashiba arrived at Mitiga Airport in Tripoli after their release in Italy as part of a case involving accusations including human trafficking and the killing of migrants. They had been convicted in 2015 and sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. This came after the Italian authorities completed the release procedures under the prisoner exchange agreement signed between Libya and Italy, which allows for the transfer of those with final judgments against them, provided that the remaining sentence is at least one year, and with mutual consent from both parties. This step is part of the Libyan government's efforts to repatriate its citizens detained abroad, following years of lengthy negotiations. It is especially significant given the rulings issued by an Italian court against the athletes, which they subsequently appealed. The four individuals involved in the case arrived in Libya after serving time in Italian prisons, with officials expressing relief that this long-delayed matter has finally been resolved.
