A 74-year-old former member of the Red Brigades named Leonardo Bertulazzi escaped from house arrest in Buenos Aires, Argentina on November 11, 2026, by abseiling down from his fifth-floor balcony using a harness and rope. Authorities became suspicious when they noticed his electronic ankle monitor had remained stationary despite him tampering with it to simulate body temperature readings. Bertulazzi was being monitored in preparation for extradition back to Italy where he faced a 27-year prison sentence for kidnapping an Italian naval engineer, Pietro Costa, in 1977. He originally fled after his arrest in 2002 and was granted refugee status in Argentina until it was revoked in 2024 when the right-wing president Javier Milei took office. The Argentine security ministry now offers a $13,000 reward for information leading to his recapture due to concerns about his bomb-making skills and past militant activities.
