The Italian Minister of the Interior, Matteo Salvini, said that a ship carrying 450 people, apparently in Maltese waters, could not come to Italy, according to DPA

"Leave Malta, Migrant smugglers and Humanitarians from all over Italy and the rest of the world know that this ship CAN NOT, and CAN NOT, arrive at an Italian port, "writes Salvini on Twitter.

However, the Ministry of the Interior of Malta stated that the ship was 53 nautical miles from the Italian island of Lampedusa and 110 nautical miles from Malta, where the coordination center the service of Rome's maritime rescue has notified the Maltese authorities.
The Ministry added that the people on board the vessel had expressed the desire to go to Lampedusa, and since the vessel was on the high seas, Malta could not have instructed them
