Italy's interior minister on Sunday said he might return to Libya 177 migrants who have been stuck on an Italian Coast Guard ship for days amid an ongoing standoff with Malta. Matteo Salvini said the European Union must intervene after Malta refused to let the ship dock at its port. "Either Europe decides to seriously offer Italy some concrete help, beginning with, for example, the 180 immigrants on board the Diciotti ship, or we will be forced to do what will definitively stop the smugglers' business. That means taking the people saved in the sea back to Libya," Salvini said in a statement.
