President Jair Bolsonaro said on his personal Twitter account that with the capture of Battistiì, “justice will finally be done”. He praised those responsible for the arrest, in a joint operation by the Bolivian and Italian police, locating and capturing Battisti on the streets of Santa Cruz de La Sierra (Bolivia).
“Congratulations to those responsible for capturing terrorist Cesare Battisti! Finally, justice will be done to the Italian murderer and fellow idealist of one of the most corrupt governments that ever existed in the world [PT].”
Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP), son of President Jair Bolsonaro, also spoke out on social media about the arrest of Italian Cesare Battisti. “Italy only had 'years of lead' because before it had years of terrorism. Bombs, kidnapped officials, political assassinations, etc. You can’t fight terrorism as if it were a common crime,” he said.
