It is also worsening relations between Italy and India, warned the Inter-Ministerial Task Force on the marines in a note to cabinet. PIndia is said to be re-assessing terrorism charges against the marines, with the government reportedly asking its justice ministry to weigh charging Massimilano Latorre and Salvatore Girone under the country’s penal code rather than the draconian SUA law, India’s tough interpretation of an international treaty against terrorism and piracy framed after the 1985 Achille Lauro hijacking, The Indian Express said Friday./PPNew Delhi, which has already taken the SUA-mandated death penalty off the table, appears to be gradually ceding to pressure not just from Rome but from the European Union and the United Nations./PPIndian must tread carefully, the Italian task force warned./PP”The eventual action by the Indian the law on maritime security (would risk) impairing the dignity of Italy and the marines, and would have negative consequences in relations with India and in the global fight against piracy,” said the task force./PPThe two Italian marines have been awaiting charges for the alleged murder of Valentine (aka Gelastine) and Ajesh Binki after the marines reportedly opened fire on their fishing trawler while guarding the privately owned Italian-flagged oil-tanker MT Enrica Lexie off the coast of Kerala in February 2012./P
