ROME—A left-wing Italian militant who was convicted of murder three decades ago arrived in Rome on Jan. 14, to begin serving life in prison, after his time as a celebrity fugitive came to an abrupt end with his arrest in Bolivia.
An Italian military aircraft carrying Cesare Battisti landed at Rome’s Ciampino airport shortly after 11:30 a.m. after an overnight flight from Bolivia. As snipers kept close watch, Battisti emerged and descended from the plane, surrounded by police.
