Alberto Francescini – who had founded the “Red Brigades” along with Renato Kourtsio and Mara Kangol – died on April 11, but the news of his death became known tonight. He was 77 years old and was born in Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy. In 1974 he was arrested by the carabiniers in a farmhouse near Turin and was subsequently sentenced to over 60 years in prison for terrorism and involvement in abduction and murder. Subsequently, in 1982 he renounced armed action and in 1992 he was released. He worked in a cooperative that focused on the integration of immigrants and former prisoners in the labor market. Last year, he had been mobilized in Milan, in favor of the Russian dissident and politician Alexei Navalny. His funeral was held in a close, family circle and all he leaked was that he had been facing a serious health problem for some time.
