The release of Mohammad Abedini, Iranian engineer, and the release of journalist Cecilia Sala: an interweaving that raises questions about possible correlations

The Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, recently filed a request with the Milan Court of Appeal to revoke the arrest of Mohammad Abedini Najafabadi, an Iranian citizen accused of crimes related to terrorism and international sanctions. The note issued by the Ministry emphasises that the revocation is based on a legal assessment in accordance with the extradition treaty between Italy and the United States, which allows extradition only for crimes punishable in both countries. Although not explicitly mentioned, the incredible timing of the request raises questions about possible parallel diplomatic frameworks.

The charges and compatibility with Italian law

The official note specifies that the charges against Abedini, including ‘conspiracy to violate IEEPA’ and material support to terrorist organisations, do not directly correspond with Italian law. In particular, the Ministry noted that there is insufficient concrete evidence to support the charges, with the only certain fact emerging being business activity with Iran, which could have dual, civil and military applications. This legal context is part of a broader dynamic, where, without a declared link, the timing of the decision may reflect a response to external factors.

The indirect link with Cecilia Sala’s release

Although there are no official statements directly linking Abedini’s case to the recent release of journalist Cecilia Sala, the coincidence of timing and the involvement of international actors raise questions. Abedini’s case and the ongoing negotiations may have had an indirect influence on diplomatic dynamics, which, in light of Sala’s release, appear to be evolving within a broader framework of negotiations.

The geopolitical implications

Abedini’s release, although not directly linked to Italian politics, is part of an international context of exchanges and negotiations that also involve hostage management and the implementation of bilateral agreements. His release could be seen as a step in a complex diplomatic puzzle, where actions in a legal field may reflect political pressures and negotiation strategies at multiple levels.
