An Italian court has ruled against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's plan to detain migrants in Albania, requiring 12 migrants to be returned to Italy. The decision challenges the strategy to manage asylum claims outside Italy and was influenced by an EU Court ruling on 'safe' countries. The Italian government plans to appeal, underscoring their commitment to contesting the decision. The ruling has drawn criticism from the anti-migration League party and opposition, who argue the policy is costly and violates rights. This setback questions the viability of processing up to 3,000 migrants monthly in Albania, initially praised by some European leaders.
