Italy's Interior Minister Matteo Salvini was celebrating the following day.
Sicilian prosecutors have called for charges to be dropped to one of more than 100 migrants leave a coast guard, Salvini said in a Facebook video.
The investigating magistrate can still choose to go ahead with the case, for "illegal confinement, illegal arrest and abuse of power", but they normally follow the prosecutors' recommendations.
Salvini expressed his "joy and satisfaction" at the decision, reading out the prosecutors' letter notifying him of their decision in the video.
Diciotti rescued 170 migrants.
Most of them have been ratified by the EU and have been forced to stay in the United States.
Salvini, also deputy prime minister and leader of the far-right League and a junior partner in the ruling coalition, only the migrants land after other countries, including Albania and Ireland, agreed to take them.
The affair covered two legal jurisdictions, Palermo and Catania, as the Diciotti moved around the Sicilian coast. Palermo's prosecutors decided to drop the box against Salvini in late October.
