Former member of notorious Italian terrorist organization arrested in Argentina after 40 years on the run

On May 4, 2023, a former member of the Italian terrorist group the Red Brigades was apprehended in Argentina. The Red Brigades were responsible for a string of kidnappings, murders, and assassinations in Italy during the 1970s and 1980s.

The former member, who has not been identified, was arrested in the city of Córdoba. He had been living in hiding in Argentina for over 40 years.

The arrest of the former Red Brigades member is a significant development in the ongoing effort to bring to justice those responsible for the group's crimes.

The Red Brigades

The Red Brigades were an Italian terrorist organization that was active from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. The group sought to overthrow the Italian government and establish a communist state.

The Red Brigades were responsible for a number of violent attacks, including the kidnappings of former Prime Minister Aldo Moro and Brigadier General James Lee Dozier. The group also assassinated a number of Italian officials, judges, and journalists.

The Arrest

The former Red Brigades member was arrested by Argentine authorities in cooperation with Italian law enforcement. The arrest was the result of a long-term investigation into the group's activities.

The former member is currently being held in custody in Argentina. He is expected to be extradited to Italy to face charges related to his involvement in the Red Brigades.

The Investigation

The investigation into the Red Brigades is ongoing. Italian and Argentine authorities are working together to identify and apprehend other members of the group who are still at large.

The arrest of the former Red Brigades member is a significant step forward in the investigation. It is hoped that his arrest will lead to further arrests and the eventual dismantling of the group.
