(ANSA) - Rome, February 8 - The nephew of a brigadier killed by a far-left terrorist group in 1977 has written to the French ambassador to Italy to launch an appeal to extradite former terrorists living in France.
Potito Perruggini Ciotta, nephew of Giuseppe Ciotta, killed by the Fighting Communist Brigades, said "your excellency, when and if you should decide to come back to Rome, please take into consideration the possibility of bringing with you to Italy the fugitive Italian terrorists hosted in your country forever.
"Not only the relatives of the victims but all the Italian people would be grateful and happy".
France recalled its envoy in a diplomatic spat on Thursday.
