Refoulement by ProxyGACS/LYCG Training
As Area Manager for North Africa and the Middle East at Cantieri Navali Vittoria, Vincenzo Mancini played a key role in the company’s cooperation with Italian and Libyan authorities on migration control. Mancini was directly involved in hosting and facilitating meetings between Italian and Libyan delegations, including the 18 May 2017 meeting in Biserta, where the timeframe for GACS training was agreed. This training, conducted in Biserta and La Spezia, enabled the Libyan Coast Guard to operate Italian-supplied vessels without any proper instruction on international SAR obligations, thereby contributing to systematic refoulement and abuse.
