Not sure where FR24 first picked him up[it gets much of its data from PlanePlotter secondary sharers ] but interestingly he first pinged on PP at 36,000 feet after crossing the libyan
coast and he was already showing a 7500 sqwk 0150 GMT
and continued doing so for the rest of the five hour plus trip.

That being the case , why was he not escorted by Italian fighter jets into the first airfield on Italian soil ?

He must have stuck out like a sore thumb over the Med Sea painting 7500 for two hours .
Perhaps he thought Italy would extradite him , whereas as Switzerland wouldn't ??
