The Italian government is "considering legal means" in the trial of fugitive Italian leftwing terrorist and convicted murder Cesare Battisti, foreign minister Angelino Alfano said on Monday.
''We are considering legal means," Alfano said at a press conference in Rome after meeting his Brazilian counterpart Aloysio Nunes.
Battisti was arrested in early October in Corumba', on the border between Brazil and Bolivia after reports that Brazil might extradite him to Italy.
Battisti, 62, has been sentenced to two life terms in Italy for four 1970s murders. He has been on the run for more than three decades but has lived freely in Brazil for the past few years.
He has claimed that if Brazil hands him over to Italian authorities, it will be "consigning me to death".
