Leonardo Bertulazzi, 74, a former member of Italy’s Red Brigades, escaped house arrest in Buenos Aires as he awaited extradition to Italy to serve a 27-year prison sentence. He was first arrested in Argentina in 2002 but was later granted refugee status, which Argentine authorities revoked in 2024, paving the way for his rearrest in August of that year. Bertulazzi belonged to the Genoa branch of the Red Brigades, a far-left militant organization responsible for the kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978.
