Red Brigades Members Sentenced in ’99 Slaying
A judge convicted and sentenced to life in prison three members of the Red Brigades terrorist group for the May 1999 killing of a government labor advisor, court officials said. A fourth was convicted and sentenced to nine years.
Prosecutors had asked for life terms for all four, who were accused of gunning down Massimo D’Antona in Rome while he was working on labor market reforms that were bitterly contested by Italy’s unions.
Sentenced to life terms were Nadia Desdemona Lioce, Marco Mezzasalma and Roberto Morandi.
Paolo Broccatelli received a nine-year term.
