March 25, 2019After years of inaction and self-absolution for the first time, Cesare Battisti has admitted killing and apologized to the families of the victims. The breakthrough announced at a press conference by magistrates in Milan.

Battisti admitted 4 murders
Cesare Battisti was questioned over the weekend by the prosecutor Alberto Nobili, owner of the counter-terrorism pool of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office, and "admitted all the charges" and his responsibilities "in four murders" and three injuries to three people who were injured at the legs and in many robberies made by the Pac in the 70s, said the Milan prosecutor Francesco Greco at a press conference.

Apologies to the families of the victims
During the interrogation on Saturday, Battisti apologized for the pain caused to the families of the victims, said the prosecutor Alberto Nobili. The admission of Cesare Battisti who for the first time said he was responsible for the 4 murders for which he was convicted, "does justice to the many controversies that have taken place over the years, honoring the police and the judiciary of Milan and clarifies a group, the Pac, which has acted in a brutal way since the end of the 1970s, "said the Milan prosecutor, Francesco Greco.

"Most important recognition"
"It is a very important recognition for the work of the magistrates, a sort of 'honor of the arms' for those who have investigated it," commented Nobili, head of the Milan anti-terrorist pool.

"I killed in a war that I thought was right"
"When I killed for myself it was a just war," Cesare Battisti told PM, according to Nobili reports today. "Battisti had never been interrogated before - PM Nobili explained - and I had the feeling of witnessing a liberating rite". That of the former terrorist of the Pac "was a choice of the field in front of a past that has not denied but from which it has now distanced itself" even if "when he was 22 years it seemed a right choice".


Salvini: "Now they ask me pseudointellettettis of the left to excuse me"

Apologizing - he added - is better late than never ".
