Bolsonaro sends captured Italian fugitive to Salvini as ‘a little gift’
(CNN)A leftist Italian fugitive has been detained in Bolivia and will be sent to Italy as “a little gift” from far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to Italy’s hardline Interior Minister Matteo Salvini.
Cesare Battisti, a 64-year-old former communist militant, was wanted for four murders in the 1970s, which he has denied.
He spent years living in Brazil as a political refugee, but has been on the run since December, when the country’s former President Michel Temer revoked his residence and approved his extradition to Italy.
