43 years ago in the Italian island of Ustica 81 people died without air accidents: It was shot down by a missile shot down by France and its aim was to assassinate Muammar Gaddafi, a former Libyan leader. This was stated by Giuliano Amato, former Italian prime minister in an interview in La Repubblica. Although some investigations concluded that it was an intentional attack, the former politician of the Democratic Party has been the first political responsible to speak of what happened.

Amato explained that the intention was to imagine an "involuntary accident." In the area of Sicily, the activity of many NATO aircraft was represented, one of which was to launch a mission to the aircraft on which the Libyan leader travelled. But he did not achieve the goal because Gaddafi did not get on that plane, according to Amato, because the then Socialist Party Member, Bettino Craxi, warns him.

Amato accuses France and NATO of hiding the truth: "It's time to uncover this terrible state secret (or rather between states)." French President Emmanuel Macron denounces the silence: "(Macron) has two options: to prove or prove that this thesis has no weight and to apologize to Italy and the relatives of the victims on behalf of the government."

France, for its part, has expressed all its information on the "accident" and has cooperated with the Italian Government if it so requests. Giorgia Meloni, the current Italian Prime Minister, has stressed that Amato’s statements deserve attention, but they are not an official statement by the Italian Government, but their “personal consequences”.
