The son of a victim of Italy's Red
Brigades (BR) group which dominated the 'Years of Lead' in the
1970s and 80s said Tuesday he thought the decision of France's
supreme Court of Cassation to confirm its refusal to extradite
10 former leftist terrorists, mostly ex-members of the BR, was
"right".
"More than 47 years have now passed , I am only so interested in
the punishment itself," said Alberto Di Cataldo, son of
Francesco, the marshal killed by the Red Brigades in Milan on
April 20, 1978.
"I also find what the French (Court of) Cassation did to be
right. We need to think in terms of restoring some truth to the
events: the real issue is not extradition as much as
establishing whether these ten people will make a contribution
to understanding what happened in those years," he added.
