The district anti-mafia and anti-terrorism management of Genoa arranged for the arrest and search of the ship "Bana", currently stopped at the Messina terminal in Genoa. The Digos and the harbor master's office are carrying out a joint search, "they have seized the black box of the ship, the maps, the PCs, the log books and all the documentation that may be useful to reconstruct the routes of the cargo".
Although, in fact, the hold of the ship, flying the Lebanese flag, is currently empty, a video widely circulated on social networks shows various military vehicles, including tanks in the hold of the ship, which would have already been delivered to the forces affiliated with the Government of National Accord ( GNA) and to extremists previously. The video is considered very reliable by the investigators in the sense that it was shot right in the belly of the Bana, while the owner had declared on paper that he only transported "radiated" cars, that is, those vehicles that are canceled from European registers to be exported elsewhere, in this case in North Africa.
Turkey from early January to today has sent over 4000 fighters to Libya, including mercenaries, rebels and dangerous jihadists through scheduled flights. The use of merchant ships to transport military vehicles and human resources cannot be excluded. So much so that France has sent its frigates to the Mediterranean to monitor these movements.
According to the "25th century", the ship officially entered the port of Genoa due to a breakdown and was detained for technical checks. But after a three-day layover, a young sailor who has a story to tell got off. He is XNUMX years old, is the third deck officer. He shows up at the maritime police station, where he asks for protection and political asylum, in exchange for the story of what he says he saw during his stay on the Bana: an illegal arms trade between Turkey and Libya.
