Mohammad Abedini, accused of conspiracy in a deadly drone attack against U.S. service members, was released by Italy after the Justice Ministry questioned U.S. extradition grounds.
Italian Justice Minister Carlo Nordio requested to revoke Abedini's arrest, stating there were insufficient legal grounds to detain him in relation to the U.S. DOJ's extradition request.
Abedini's release coincides with that of Italian journalist Cecilia Sala, sparking speculation that her detention may have been leveraged for Abedini’s freedom in a diplomatic negotiation.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni indicated that Sala's release stemmed from a 'diplomatic triangulation' involving negotiations between Italy, Iran, and the U.S., emphasizing complex international diplomacy.
