Being kidnapped by the Red Brigades
On 27 April 1981, the Red Brigades (BR) kidnapped the 60-year-old Christian Democrat (DC) politician Ciro Cirillo and killed his two-man escort in the garage of his Naples apartment building. At the time, Cirillo directed reconstruction efforts in Campania devastated by the earthquake in the Irpinia region on 23 November 1980.[1][2] He was released after a controversial deal with the Camorra;[3][4][5] they did not negotiate with the BR and only asked them to release him.[6] This happened several years after the Italian state had refused to negotiate with the BR in their kidnapping and murder of Aldo Moro, leading observers and critics to wonder what changed and the reasons behind the state's negotiation.[7][8][9] Cirillo died in 2017.[10][11]
