Brazilian far-right
candidate and favourite in the presidential run-off Jair
Bolsonaro said Tuesday if elected he will "immediately" order
the extradition of Italian former leftist terrorist Cesare
Battisti.
Battisti, whose extradition was halted by former president
Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva, is wanted to serve out several life
sentences for murders in the so-called 'Years of Lead' of
leftist and rightist terrorism.
Battisti, who fled to Brazil from France where he had become
a crime writer, after the end of the Mitterand Doctrine, has
always denied committing murder.
