By Sabina Castelfranco Rome10 August 2009An Italian tugboat and its crew of 16, seized by Somali pirates four months ago,polo ralph lauren pas cher, has been released. Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini expressed his satisfaction at the outcome after months of negotiations.
The Italian-flagged tugboat Buccaneer was hijacked in the Gulf of Aden on April 11. On board was a crew of 10 Italians,polo ralph lauren, 5 Romanians and one Croatian. Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said that the Somali prime minister informed him directly about the vessel's release and said it was the result of exceptional work on the part of Somalia authorities and Italian intelligence.
Frattini said Italy was involved in strong political action with local and Somali authorities that finally made the pirates understand that there was no other possibility but that of releasing the hostages.
Frattini stressed that the ship was not freed as the result of military action and he said that no ransom was paid. However,moncler pas cher, there are news reports that a ransom was paid.
The foreign minister said the release and withdrawal of the pirates occurred in the most simple way.

The Buccaneer and its crew is now being escorted by navy vessels and is on its way to Djibouti. The Italian crew expects to be able to be back home by mid-August.
