ICC Complaint Accuses Italy's Meloni and Ministers of Complicity in Genocide Over Support to Israel

A legal complaint filed at the International Criminal Court accuses Meloni and officials of genocide complicity amid mass protests and strikes involving two million Italians, unions said.

  • On October 7 Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said she was denounced to the International Criminal Court for alleged complicity in genocide linked to Rome's support for Israel.
  • The complaint dated October 1 was signed by about 50 people including law professors and public figures and was filed by a Palestinian advocacy group, citing Gaza health authorities reporting 67,173 killed and 169,780 injured.
  • Meloni confirmed Defence Minister Guido Crosetto and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani were named and said Roberto Cingolani, head of Leonardo, may also be included; Leonardo called it a "very serious frame-up".
  • A one-day general strike on Friday drew large participation, with trade unions saying Two million Italians joined while the Interior Ministry put the number nearer half a million.
  • The complaint adds to mounting legal actions and precedents, noting a UN Independent Inquiry last month found Israel's war met genocide thresholds and SIPRI showed Italy exported major arms from 2020 to 2024.
