Mario Moretti
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mario Moretti (born 1946 in Porto San Giorgio, Marche, Italy) is a founding member of the 2nd Red Brigades, who kidnapped and killed Aldo Moro on May 9, 1978. The circumstances of this assassination are still not clear. It is known, however, that Mario Moretti was the only person to talk to Moro during the 54 days of imprisonment. Moretti is also responsible for killing Moro.[1] He was sentenced to six life sentences for his crime, but, after serving 15 years in jail, he was paroled and freed in 1998. Moretti was suspected of being a spy by BR founders Alberto Franceschini and Renato Curcio [2]. Historian Sergio Flamigni [3] believes Moretti was used by Gladio in Italy to take over the Red Brigades and pursue a strategy of tension.
