Leonardo Bertulazzi, 74, a former member of the Marxist terrorist organization 'Red Brigades,' escaped from house arrest in Argentina while awaiting extradition to Italy. Bertulazzi was involved in the logistical side of the kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro in 1978. He was sentenced to 27 years in prison in Italy but fled to Argentina, where he received refugee status until the government of Javier Milei revoked it. Yesterday, he cut off his electronic ankle monitor, attached a device simulating body temperature, and rappelled down from a fifth-floor balcony using a harness. Police discovered his disappearance when the monitor stopped transmitting. The Argentine government announced a reward of 20 million pesos (about $13,000) for information leading to his capture.
