«This night three Italian citizens were freed, Rocco Langone, his wife Maria Donata Caivano and his son Giovanni Langone, who had been kidnapped on 19 May 2022 in their home on the outskirts of the city of Koutiala, south-east of the capital of Mali, Bamako, where they had lived for several years. Despite the long imprisonment, the members of the Langone family enjoy good health. Their return to Italy is scheduled for today in Rome." This was communicated by a note from Palazzo Chigi.
«I want to express my heartfelt congratulations for the release of our three compatriots kidnapped in 2022 in Mali: Rocco Langone, his wife Maria Donata Caivano and their son Giovanni. And to thank the Aise for its extraordinary work which, in concert with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, allowed this difficult result", commented Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
