Supreme Court To Close Italian Marines Case Only On Receiving Compensation

An international tribunal had said the Italian Marines must be tried in Italy itself.
New Delhi:
The Supreme Court today said it will close criminal cases against two Italian marines only after the Indian government deposits the compensation amount of Rs 10 crore with it. The two soldiers, Salvatore Girone and Massimiliano Latorre, were accused of killing two Indian fishermen off the coast of Kerala in 2012, but an international tribunal decided that that duo must be tried in Italy.
The Centre had on Wednesday told the court that the victims' families had agreed to be compensated. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta had requested the bench to take up the matter for hearing today since there was some urgency between the two nations' governments.
