Photographs and a report by the judge indicating that the Iuventa crew collaborated with people traffickers were published in Italian newspapers yesterday. Much of the evidence appeared to come from an undercover police officer working on the Vos Hestia, a search-and-rescue ship operated by Save the Children. In June the officer witnessed a rescue operation by the Iuventa crew in which three wooden boats were lashed together and towed towards Libya, where they were set adrift and collected by traffickers. One of the boats was seen again a week later carrying more migrants. The judge said that it was against Italian law to fail to render smugglers’ boats unusable. The officer witnessed meetings between smugglers and crew members in the Iuventa tenders with Libyan coastguard vessels standing by and making no effort to detain or identify the smugglers as they escaped.

Bugs planted by investigators on the Iuventa are understood to have captured conversations in which crew members made clear their reluctance to co-operate with Italian investigators. A Iuventa team leader named as Katrin said to a colleague: “We won’t supply any photograph in which the people steering the boats could be identified because the police might arrest them.”

These are barely rescue operations now. They're just now guaranteeing the invaders arrive safely. White genocide marches on.
