from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cesare Battisti, 2009

Cesare Battisti (born December 18, 1954 in Cisterna di Latina ) is a former member of the left-wing extremist terrorist organization Proletari Armati per il Comunismo (PAC). The European Court of Human Rights had in 2006 filed a lawsuit against the Court of Final Italian condemnation from a terrorist.

Life

Assaults, murders and convictions

Battisti dropped out of high school after three years. He was put on record for brawls, vandalism and robberies. In 1977 he met a left-wing extremist ideologist in prison. After his release, he carried out attacks on small tradesmen, known as "proletarian expropriations". A butcher, a jeweler and two policemen died. Battisti was sentenced to 12 years in prison for membership in an armed group.

Escape

In 1981 Battisti escaped from prison, first to France and then to Mexico . In 1990 he returned to France, where he was protected by the Mitterrand Doctrine . In absentia he was sentenced to life imprisonment for four murders . When the Mitterrand Doctrine was de facto revoked in 2002 and there was again the possibility of a transfer to Italy, Battisti fled from France to Brazil .

Battisti was a writer and published 15 books between 1994 and 2006.

On March 18, 2007, Brazilian and French police arrested him in Rio de Janeiro . However, the Brazilian Justice Minister Tarso Genro granted him the status of a political refugee, which provoked mixed international reactions. On February 5, 2009, the European Parliament passed a resolution in support of the Italian position and observed a minute's silence in memory of Battisti's victims. On November 18, 2009, the Brazilian Constitutional Court declared refugee status illegal and allowed extradition , but also held that the Brazilian constitution gives the president the power to refuse extradition. Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva announced on December 31, 2010, his last day in office, that he would not consent to the extradition. Battisti's application for release was dismissed by the Supreme Court on January 6, 2011. However, on June 8, 2011, he decided by 6 votes to 3 for Battisti's immediate release.

Battisti was arrested on March 12, 2015 in Embu das Artes, São Paulo state. According to Brazil's federal police, he should remain in custody pending a court decision on his deportation. On February 26, 2015, a court order, which was not yet legally binding, demanded that he be deported to Mexico or France, where the Italian had been before he fled to Brazil. The judge assessed the decision of the immigration authorities from 2011 as not compliant with the law and therefore his stay as illegal.

On December 14, 2018, outgoing President Michel Temer Battistis ordered his arrest and extradition to Italy. However, after the election in Brazil at the end of October 2018 , an Italian journalist no longer found Battisti at his place of residence. Security circles suspected his stay in Bolivia . This was obvious because of Battisti's ideological closeness to his vice-president Álvaro García Linera .

Cesare Battisti was arrested on January 12, 2019 in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. While walking through the city center, he was first observed by a team of Bolivian and Italian agents, then checked and then arrested without resistance.

Extradition to Italy

On January 14, 2019, Battisti arrived in Italy after his arrest in Bolivia.
