epa07724603 Sea-Watch3 captain Carola Rackete (L) leaves the Court after being questioned by prosecutors, in Agrigento, Sicily island, southern Italy, 18 July 2019. Prosecutors in the Sicilian city of Agrigento on 17 July filed an appeal to the supreme Court of Cassation against a judge's decision not to keep Sea-Watch3 captain Carola Rackete under house arrest. The 31-year-old woman from Germany on 29 June allegedly hit a finance police vessel as she defied a ban in order to land 40 migrants on the island of Lampedusa, saying she was afraid some might commit suicide after being at sea for 17 days following a rescue off Libya.
