Battisti gift coming, Bolsonaro's son tells Salvini

(ANSA) - Rome, October 29 - The son of new Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday suggested that the government is set to keep a promise to extradite of Italian former leftist terrorist Cesare Battisti. "The gift is coming! Thanks for the support, the right is becoming stronger," Eduardo Bolsonaro, a federal deputy, said in response to a tweet by Italian Deputy Premier and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini congratulating Bolsonaro senior on his election victory. Battisti, whose extradition was halted by former president Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, is wanted to serve out several life sentences for murders in the so-called 'Years of Lead' of leftist and rightist terrorism.
    Battisti, who fled to Brazil from France where he had become a crime writer, after the end of the Mitterand Doctrine, has always denied committing murder.
