Cesare Battisti, 64, a former member of the far-left terrorist group Armed Proletarians for Communism (PAC), was arrested in Bolivia after 38-years as a fugitive of the Italian justice.

He is set to serve a life sentence for four murders committed in Italy’s ‘years of lead’ of political violence in the 1970s and 1980s, media reported.
