Alvaro Lojacono

He followed, along with his sister Silvana, their mother first to Ticino, then to Savosa, and eventually to Rimini, where Ornella Baragiola worked as the manager of the Italian-Swiss cultural center.

[3] On 28 February 1975, the trial began in Rome of members of the extreme-left organization Potere Operaio, accused for the arson attack against the home of MSI undersecretary Mario Mattei and his family on Primavalle street, which resulted in the death of two of his children and the serious injury of two other persons.

In a riot outside the MSI headquarters in Ottaviano street, shots were fired killing the Greek medical student and neofascist sympathizer Mikis Mantakas.

He was finally accused of participating in the 1978 kidnapping and assassination of Aldo Moro, Christian Democrat leader and supporter of the "historic compromise" between his party and the Communists.

[5] Lojacono fled to Algeria in 1981, following, as he claimed many years later, the advice of his father who had been a supporter and friend of Algerian independence movement militants, while also asserting that he was indirectly helped by the Italian Communist Party.

[2] After sporadic sightings in France and Brazil, his traces are lost until 1986, when he moves into his maternal residence, Villa Orizzonte, in Castelrotto, Switzerland, nested on the Alto Malcantone hills with a large private park along with three thousand square meters of vineyard.

Under the threat of an international arrest warrant issued by the Italian authorities, he immediately applies for Swiss citizenship, an application based on his mother's nationality.

A legal process against him for his participation in the assassination of Aldo Moro was closed due to "lack of evidence," since there were no Italian witnesses coming forth to testify in Switzerland.
