On 11th May 2020, regarding the freeing of Silvia Romano (kidnapped in Kenya on 20 November 2018) Massimo Giorgetti posted on his facebook page: "Am I happy that Silvia Romano has been freed? Not at all. Now we will have one more Muslim and four million euros less. Such a deal ... If someone of our secret service would have died, how much the Italian government would have given to the widows and the orphans?". He removed the post after receiving critics.[3]
