January 14, 2019The former terrorist Cesare Battisti arrived at the Massama prison in Oristano, where he will serve a life sentence. The van was escorted by numerous vehicles of the state police and of the penitentiary police from the Elmas airport to the maximum security prison.

Isolation for 6 months
In the cell alone and 6 months of daytime isolation. It is the prison treatment that, as far as we learn, will be reserved for Cesare Battisti. The ex-terrorist of the Pac, today returned to Italy from South America after 37 years of inaction, was handed over to the agents of the GOM (mobile operating group of the Penitentiary Police) who transferred him to Sardinia.

Bonafede: in Oristano "for security reasons"
The sergeant Alfonso Bonafede opted for the penitentiary of the Sardinian city, considering the fact that the first forecast - that of bringing Battisti to Rome Rebibbia, the closest prison to the place of arrival of the plane from Bolivia - would have been only "temporary" .

Arrival at Ciampino
Battisti arrived at Ciampino on a flight departed from Bolivia last night. Jeans, brown jacket, fell from the plane that brought him back to Italy. Ministers Salvini and Bonafede await his arrival. "It will banish a life sentence", assures the Minister of Justice.



Battisti: "Now I know I'll go to prison"
"Now I know that I will go to prison," said the former terrorist, speaking with the counterterrorism officials who welcomed him in one of the halls of the 31st Air Force headquarters at Ciampino.



Salvini: now dozens of other killers in jail
The arrest of Cesare Battisti is not a "point of arrival but a starting point. I am sure that the police, with the intelligence services, will be able to reassure the galleys other dozens of criminals, cowards and murderers who are in I travel around the world to enjoy life ". This was said by Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini after the arrival of the former Pac terrorist at Ciampino.

Bonafede: if a compact institution team no one stops us
"Today we say to the world that no one can escape the Italian justice. Battisti has been guilty of serious crimes. Many years have passed but the wounds have not been soothed. This is the result of a team that works compact, not only of the Government and the law enforcement but of all Italian institutions. It is a historic achievement, if the institutions are compact, no one can stop us, "said Justice Minister Alfonso Bonafede during a press conference prepared on the airport runway.



Count: assured safer return route
"I only observe that we have guaranteed the safest and fastest route for Battisti to arrive in Italy: I spoke with the president of Brazil and I reiterate the government's thanks to the change of course that has been determined. Thanks also to the Bolivian government for collaboration". The premier, Giuseppe Conte, said this at a press conference at Palazzo Chigi. The capture of Cesare Battisti "is a great achievement that we had not only in the abstract because it had justice effective but we owed it to the families of the victims".

Controlled since October 16, also used Skype
The first checks on Cesare Battisti and his 'protection' network began on October 16 and it emerged that the former terrorist, arrested Saturday afternoon in Santa Cruz de la Sierra after his escape from Brazil, also used his Skype profile 'Cesare 1900'. This is what results from the investigations of the Milan Digos and the deputy pg Antonio Lamanna who, thanks to a sophisticated monitoring system, have identified the movements of the former Pac component.

Removed banner for liberation near the Colosseum
This night agents of the Police of Rome Police Headquarters immediately removed a banner with the writing in red "Battisti free, amnesty for the comrades, we resist". The drape was hung on the pedestrian bridge overlooking Via degli Annibaldi, with a view of the Colosseum.
