On November 10, 74-year-old Leonardo Bertulazzi—a former senior leader of Italy’s radical Marxist Red Brigades who was awaiting extradition to serve a 27-year prison sentence for terrorism-related crimes—escaped house arrest in Buenos Aires by tricking his electronic ankle monitor with a tube of pork and rappelling from a fifth-floor balcony. Having previously lived in Argentina under refugee status granted in 2004 until it was revoked in 2024, Bertulazzi fled just months after Argentina’s supreme court rejected his final appeal and approved his extradition to Italy in July 2025. In response to the brazen escape captured on CCTV, Argentina’s security ministry has launched an investigation and offered a $13,000 reward for information leading to his recapture.
