This 64-year-old Italian, a Communist proletarian, was sentenced to imprisonment Born in 1993 for four murders committed in the 1970s against a prison guard, a police officer, a neo-fascist militant and a Milanese jeweler (the jeweler's son became paralyzed after being beaten).
He states that he has never killed anyone and claims to be a victim of political persecution.
Cesare Battisti: conviction for murder in Italy, escape and arrest in Bolivia; see chronology
This has been 37 years of permanent evasion, with periods of imprisonment and politico-judicial struggles to escape Italian justice. Battisti escaped from his country in the 1980s, lived in France, Brazil and, more recently, was hidden in Bolivia.
As the entry of Battisti in Bolivia was illegal, his deportation was requested by Italy and the Bolivian government complied with it.
The initial plan provided for Battisti to return to Brazil on a federal police plane, which was then to be extradited to Italy. The Brazilian government even sent a plane to Battisti in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, but negotiations between the Italian and Bolivian governments allowed the rapid expulsion of Battisti.

Battisti will remain six months in solitary confinement in a wing intended for terrorist Repubblica ".
As the crimes were committed before 1991, the year when the Italian legislation was amended, some benefits, such as leaving the prison for short periods if it shows good behavior after serving 10 years of punishment, will be beneficial, according to the correspondent. of TV Globo in Italy, Ilze Scamparini. After serving 26 years in prison, he can be put on probation.

As he was tried in absentia (without the presence of the defendant) , the defense may also attempt a new trial.
The governments of left and right wanted Battisti to return to Italy to serve his sentence and the subject occupies a large part of the Italian newspapers.
Battisti arrived in Brazil in 2004. He was arrested in Rio de Janeiro in March 2007 as a result of joint action by the Brazilian Federal Police and Italian and French agents. Two years later, the then Minister of Justice, Tarso Genro, agreed to seek refuge.
In 2007, Italy asked for her extradition and, at the end of 2009, the STF granted the request, leaving the last word to the President of the Republic. At the time, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva had refused extradition.
In September 2017, the Italian government asked President Michel Temer to review Brazil's decision concerning Battisti.
At the end of last year, the Attorney General's Office (PGR) asked the STF to give priority to the trial likely to result in extradition.
A month after the PGR's request, Minister Luiz Fux ordered the arrest of the Italian and paved the way for extradition in early December.
In his decision, the Minister authorized the arrest but declared that it would be up to the president to extradite the Italian or not, because political decisions would not compete with the judiciary. The next day, the then president, Michel Temer, authorized the extradition of Battisti.
Since then, the PF has launched a series of operations to arrest the Italian. By the end of December, the PS had already completed more than 30 actions.
Battisti denies any involvement in homicides and claims to be a victim of political persecution. In an interview in 2014 with Mario Sergio Conti's Diálogos program at GloboNews, he declared that he had not killed anyone.
