Maurizio Tramonte, a former
secret service informant and ex member of neoFascist
organisation Ordine Nuovo (New Order) who has been handed a
definitive life sentence by the supreme court for the bombing of
Piazza della Loggia in Brescia that killed eight people and
injured 102 on May 28, 1974, has been arrested by the Portuguese
police, sources said Wednesday.
Tramonte was nabbed while visiting the Catholic shrine of
Fatima, which he went to as part of a spiritual journey that
also took in Lourdes on Easter Monday, sources said.
Tramonte could not initially be found after Tuesday's ruling
but was arrested after the Carabinieri police alerted their
Portuguese colleagues.
Carlo Maria Maggi, also convicted of the bombing and also
sentenced to life, was placed under house arrest after his
sentence was commuted Wednesday.
