Morocco has demanded that Italian authorities explain the death of one the kingdom's nationals during his arrest in Bologna, an event that sparked major protests in the Italian city.
Abderrahim Fakir died after being tackled to the ground by police in Bologna, prompting Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to call for "the truth right to the end" on Tuesday, after the incident sparked demonstrations.
Rabat urged Italian authorities to "shed full light" on the incident and called for "responsibility to be established and that the full application of the required legal measures and procedures be guaranteed", the foreign ministry said late Tuesday.
It added that it was following the case "very closely" and "with concern".
