A 74-year-old Italian fugitive, Leonardo Bertulazzi, escaped house arrest in Buenos Aires by abseiling from a fifth-floor balcony after tampering with his ankle monitor. He was involved with the Red Brigades and had been awaiting extradition to Italy for a 1977 kidnapping in Genoa, with a long fugitive history. An international manhunt is underway as authorities investigate the tampering and potential risks.
