Italian envoy claims diplomatic immunity; we'll see, says Supreme Court

The Supreme Court today ruled that its order banning the Italian Ambassador from leaving India will continue till April 2, when it next hears the case of Rome's refusal to send back two marines to face trial for shooting a pair of fishermen. 'We don't trust the envoy anymore... we did not expect him to behave like this," said the judges about Daniele Mancini, who had assured the court in writing that if the marines were allowed to go home in February, they would return in a month to face murder charges.
