Ex BR man skips house arrest in Buenos Aires

Leonardo Bertulazzi, a former Red Brigades militant, escaped house arrest in Buenos Aires while awaiting extradition to Italy for a 27-year sentence. He was convicted for the 1977 kidnapping of engineer Pietro Costa, which financed the purchase of the apartment where Aldo Moro was later held before his assassination. After 44 years as a fugitive, Bertulazzi was arrested in 2024. A nationwide manhunt is now underway for his capture.
