Rome: Italian foreign minister Giulio Terzi on Monday said that they had not seen the co-operation between both the country over the killing of two Indian fishermen, Times of India reported.
The minister warned of “considerable differences” with India over the alleged killing of the two mistaken for pirates by Italian soldiers on an oil tanker.
Italy says the men have immunity from Indian law as the tanker, the Enrica Lexie, was flying with an Italian flag in international waters as it sailed from Singapore to Egypt when the shooting occurred on Wednesday.
The two soldiers were also produced before a magistrate in Kerala on Monday. They were escorted off the vessel and arrested on Sunday.
Italian officials have said the Indian fishing boat behaved aggressively and was repeatedly warned by officers on board the ship before shots were fired.
