In a significant development, Buenos Aires police have arrested Leonardo Bertulazzi, a former member of the Red Brigades, a notorious Italian terrorist group. Bertulazzi, who had been living in Argentina as a refugee, was wanted by Italian authorities for crimes including kidnapping and criminal association. His arrest comes nearly half a century after the murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro, which was attributed to the Red Brigades. The arrest is part of ongoing efforts by international law enforcement agencies to bring members of the group to justice.
