Italian Sought in Attacks That Killed 10 Is Arrested
An Italian sought for four years in connection with neo-Nazi attacks that killed more than 10 people over a decade ago was arrested Wednesday on the Greek island of Crete, Italian police said.
Marco Furlan, 35, was arrested in the island capital, Iraklion, and was expected to be extradited to Italy, a police spokesman in the northern city of Padua said.
Furlan disappeared in February, 1991, from a town near Padua, where he had been ordered to reside pending appeal of a 27-year prison sentence for murder.
He and a second man, Wolfgang Abel, had been found guilty of a series of attacks--including one in Germany--between 1977 and 1984 that were claimed by a shadowy neo-Nazi group that called itself Ludwig.
