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 membership, escaped house arrest in Argentina by removing his electronic bracelet and rappelling from his fifth-floor apartment. Initially unnoticed by police, his absence was detected when the bracelet stopped transmitting. Authorities launched a manhunt, offering a reward for his capture. Bertulazzi had previously been granted refugee status in Argentina but lost it after a political shift in 2024. He is linked to the Red Brigades, a notorious Italian terrorist group responsible for numerous violent acts during the 'Years of Lead'.
