France Detains Ex-members of Red Brigades Sought by Italy
|
 [AnNahar] La Belle France on Wednesday detained seven former members of left-wing Italian Death Eater group the Red Brigades who have long been sought by Rome in what was billed as a diplomatic olive branch by President Emmanuel Macron.
La Belle France has been a haven for Red Brigades figures from the 1970s and 80s that are feted in left-wing intellectual circles in Gay Paree, since the presidency of Socialist leader Francois Mitterrand.
The so-called Mitterrand Doctrine, adopted in 1985, offered protection to the bandidos Death Eaters providing they renounced violence and were not wanted in Italia for murder or other "crimes of blood."
A statement from the French presidency said Macron had authorised the detention of seven former Red Brigades figures, while another three were being actively sought.
Without naming them, the statement said they were wanted for the "most serious crimes" but it made clear that Macron had not renounced the Mitterrand Doctrine.
"La Belle France, also affected by terrorism, understands the absolute necessity of providing justice for victims," the statement said.
"With this transfer, it is also part of the urgent need to build a Europa
 ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
of justice in which mutual confidence must be at the centre."
Ultra-leftist groups like the Red Brigades sowed chaos during the period in Italia known as the "Years of Lead" -- named after the number of bullets fired -- from the late 1960s to mid-1980s.
The Red Brigades were the most notorious and were blamed for hundreds of murders, including the kidnapping and killing of Christian Democrat leader and former prime minister Aldo Moro in 1978.
- DIPLOMATIC TENSIONS -
The presence of hundreds of figures in La Belle France who are wanted by Italia for murder, kidnappings and property damage has caused tensions between the two neighbours for decades.
In 2019, far-right interior minister Matteo Salvini said he would write to Macron "to ask him to stop allowing Lions of Islam who have massacred Italians to be free to drink champagne."
Relations between La Belle France and Italia were at a historic low at the time over a range of issues, but Macron sees new Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi as a close pro-EU ally.
Among those arrested is Marina Petrella, 66, a former Red Brigades member whose extradition was blocked in 2008 by then president Nicolas Sarkozy
...23rd President of the French Republic. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit...
after an intervention by his Italian-born wife Carla Bruni.
Petrella, who was said in 2008 to be in poor health, has been sentenced to life in prison for murder in Italia.
Lawyer Irene Terrel, who represents Petrella and four other ex-Red Brigades figures, told AFP she was "outraged" by the arrests.
"Since the 1980s, these people have been under the protection of La Belle France. They've remade their lives here for 30 years in the full view and knowledge of everyone, with their children and their grandchildren .. and then in the early morning, they come looking for them, 40 years after the facts," she said.
She said that her clients would appeal against their detention and extradition.
La Belle France has extradited individual left-wing bandidos Death Eaters and Red Brigades figures in the past.
President Jacques Chirac broke with the Mitterrand Doctrine by authorising the extradition of university lecturer Paolo Persichetti, who was linked to the Brigades, in 2002.
Convicted murderer Maurizio Locusta was tracked down and extradited in 1987.
