MILAN - The German captain of a migrant-rescue ship who defied an Italian government ban to dock at the island port of Lampedusa expressed regret on Sunday for any alarm caused when her ship trapped a police boat against the quay.
Carola Rackete, who was arrested on Saturday after spending two weeks in international waters with dozens of rescued African migrants, immediately switched off her engines when she realized the Sea-Watch 3 might have got too close to the patrol boat, her lawyer Alessandro Gamberini told Reuters by telephone.
Rackete, 31, was arrested for resisting a military ship after being denied permission to dock under Italian laws introduced by Salvini to deter non-government rescue ships. She had been placed under investigation by Italian prosecutors last week on suspicion of aiding people-smugglers. Salvini says the European Union has left Italy alone to face the problem of arrivals by sea, and the issue has also caused considerable friction with Paris.
