(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 9 - An operation by special forces from Italy's crack San Marco Brigade to free a Turkish ship hijacked by migrants off Naples is ongoing, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Friday. "The operation is still in progress, it is not a big ship, but our special forces, which are the men of the San Marco battalion stationed in Brindisi, are still cleaning up", said Crosetto, interviewed by veteran TV host Bruno Vespa in the Forum in Masseria for an update on the intervention of Italian special forces to free the Turkish ship that ended up in the hands of illegal immigrants off the coast of Naples.
