  • Two former members of Italian far-left militant groups surrendered to French police on Thursday, a day after seven others were arrested after Paris reversed course on their decades-old extradition requests. Luigi Bergamin and Raffaele Ventura are among 10 Italian leftwing extremists living in France and wanted by their home country. Bergamin, 72, is accused of murder, the possession of firearms and the production and possession of explosives. Seven other former Italian extremists, some having belonged to the notorious Red Brigades, were arrested in France on Wednesday, while one other is still in hiding. All had been convicted in Italy of committing acts of terror in the 1970s and 1980s. According to Italian media reports, Bergamin is believed to be one of the masterminds of the 1978 killing of a prison guard, and was also involved in the murder of a policeman. France had refused an Italian request for his extradition in the early 1990s. Ventura is wanted for the murder of a police officer. French police are now rounding them up by order of President Emmanuel Macron in a gesture designed to resolve a long-standing source of tension with Rome. France has long served as a haven for Red Brigades figures from the 1970s and 80s under a policy set by former French leader Francois Mitterrand. The so-called "Mitterrand Doctrine", adopted in 1985, offered asylum to the extremists providing they renounced violence and were not wanted in Italy for murder or other "blood crimes". Ultra-leftist groups like the Red Brigades sowed chaos during the period in Italy known as the Years of Lead -- named after the number of bullets fired -- from the late 1960s to mid-1980s. The Red Brigades, the most notorious, were responsible for kidnappings and murders, including of former prime minister Aldo Moro in 1978. Bergamin, meanwhile, belonged to the Armed Proletarians for Communism group, founded in the mid-70s and disbanded a few years later. Ventura was active in the Communist Combatant Formations, also active in the 70s. The Paris appeals court is to decide later Thursday whether to keep the arrested Italians in custody pending a ruling on Italy's extradition requests, according to sources close to the case. The Italians in custody were questioned by anti-terror police on Wednesday. bl-gd/jh/js/yad
