Spectacular escape of a 74-year-old terrorist. He descended on a rope from the fifth floor

Leonardo Bertulazzi, sentenced to 27 years in Italy for kidnapping and armed group affiliation, escaped house arrest in Argentina after removing his electronic bracelet. He used a harness and rope to lower himself from a fifth-floor apartment in Buenos Aires. Argentine authorities have issued a 20 million pesos reward for information leading to his capture. Bertulazzi was initially arrested in Argentina in 2002 and granted refugee status, which was revoked in 2024. He is linked to the Red Brigades, a far-left terrorist organization responsible for numerous attacks in Italy during the 1970s and 1980s.
