The French website Africa Intelligence reported on Tuesday that vessels linked to Italian company Eni in Libya are under scrutiny over migrant interception operations in the Mediterranean, as part of Rome’s opaque maritime operations.
The French website pointed out that the companies owning the vessels involved in returning migrants off the Libyan coast have close ties to Italian oil giant Eni, while Rome is simultaneously tightening its grip on the management of European migration, according to the website.
