Former Red Brigade Member Arrested in Buenos Aires

Leonardo Bertulazzi, a former member of the far-left Red Brigade, has been arrested in Buenos Aires. He was wanted by the Italian justice system for crimes such as kidnapping and criminal association. Bertulazzi had been living as a refugee in Argentina until his status was revoked by President Javier Milei's administration.

Buenos Aires police have arrested Leonardo Bertulazzi, a former member of the far-left Red Brigade, wanted by the Italian justice system for various crimes. The Argentine government made the announcement on Thursday.

Bertulazzi faces accusations of kidnapping and criminal association, crimes he allegedly committed as part of the Red Brigade, a militant group that terrorized Italy in the 1970s and 1980s.

The ex-guerrilla fighter had lived in Argentina for years as a refugee, a status recently revoked by President Javier Milei's ultra-liberal administration. 'Bertulazzi is responsible for crimes that undermined democratic values and the lives of many victims,' the government noted in a statement.
