French police arrest tenth ex-member of Italian Red Brigades in Paris

French police have arrested a former member of the Italian Red Brigades, who had evaded capture for nearly three months, reports Euronews.

Maurizio Di Marzio was the only one of ten suspects linked to the left-wing militant group who was not detained by the authorities in April.

Seven suspected terrorists were detained at their French homes, while two others turned themselves into police.

But Di Marzio, the tenth accused individual, was arrested on Monday morning in Paris, Italy's justice ministry said.

He had been sentenced to 15 years in jail for a series of violent crimes committed in Italy in the 1970s and 1980s.
