Former leftist terrorist Cesare
Battisti should say who helped him remain a fugitive from
Italian justice for almost 40 years, one of the investigating
magistrates who dealt with the four murders he committed in
Italy's Years of Lead said Tuesday.
Battisti was long a fugitive in France and Brazil before the
latter extradited him to Italy to serve two life terms for the
murders last year.
On Monday he finally apologised for them.
"If he wants to give a tardy contribution," said former judge
Pietro Forno, "he could do by speaking about those who
supported, sustained, funded and helped his flight (from
justice) and his being on the run".
Forno said Battisti's statement Monday was a "normal
proclamation of the so-called disassociated (ex-terrorists) who
don't give any contribution to the authorities of the State they
say they respect".
