Italy's Justice Ministry announced its decision against extraditing Mohammad Abedini Najafabadi to the U.S., citing the absence of grounds as the primary reason for the revocation.
The Italian government stated that the extradition treaty with the United States only allows for extradition for crimes that are punishable in both nations, which does not apply to Najafabadi's case.
Following the extradition decision, Iranian state media reported that Najafabadi would soon return to Iran, highlighting a potential diplomatic influence from the recent release of an Italian journalist.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni remarked that the release of Cecilia Sala, an Italian reporter, was part of a successful diplomatic negotiation involving both the United States and Iran.
