Florence prosecutors have
opened an investigation into comments made by former Red
Brigades (BR) terrorist Barbara Balzerani on March 16, the 40th
anniversary of the kidnapping of former premier Albo Moro and
the murder of his security detail, sources said Tuesday.
Moro, a leading member of the once-dominant Christian
Democrat party, was murdered by the BR 55 days later.
During a presentation of her latest book at a leftwing centre
in Florence, Balzerani caused outrage by saying "being the
victim has become a job".
Balzerani was part of the gang that kidnapped Moro and killed
his five bodyguards.
She has been free since being paroled in 2006 and her
sentence definitively expired in 2011.
