The Republic of Italy is yet to deposit before the Central Government the Rupees 10 crores compensation in the Enrica Lexie case related to the killing of two Indian fishermen by Italian Marines in 2012.
This was informed by the Union of India before the Supreme Court on Monday.
A bench headed by the Chief Justice of India was hearing the application filed by the Centre seeking to close the criminal cases against the two Italian Marines in India, after accepting the compensation offered by Italy.
On April 9, the Supreme Court had asked the Republic of Italy of deposit the Rupees 10 crores compensation in the account specified by the Ministry of External Affairs, and the Ministry was in turn directed to deposit the same in the Supreme Court after receiving the amount from Italy.
