Italy takes back 43 migrants it planned to process in Albania, a 3rd failed attempt to keep them out

An Italian Navy ship returned 43 migrants to Italy from Albania after a court decision in Rome, marking the third failed attempt by Giorgia Meloni's government to process migrants in the non-EU country.
The migrants were among 49 transferred to Albania, with six returned due to being minors or deemed vulnerable.
An Italian appeals court refused to approve the expulsion of the 43 asylum-seekers and referred the case to the European Court of Justice for a ruling.
In January 2025, 3,704 migrants arrived in Italy, nearly three times as many as the same period last year, with Bangladeshis being the largest nationality.
