The two marines were allowed to go back to Italy to vote in February’s general elections.
The marines, who had allegedly shot dead two Indian fishermen in the Arabian Sea, said they were happy to stay back in Italy and join work. “Now we are finally happy. We are happy to go back to work,” Latorre told Italy’s ANSA news agency.
The two Italian sailors charged with killing two Indian fishermen lost their Supreme Court bid in January this year to be tried on home soil.
The sailors, members of a military security team protecting the cargo ship Enrica Lexie, said they mistook the fishermen for pirates in February 2012.
Italy challenged India's right to try the sailors in the Supreme Court, saying the shooting took place in international waters, outside the jurisdiction of Indian courts.
Indian authorities accuse the sailors of shooting unarmed fishermen in a "contiguous zone" where Indian law applies.
