ZANicaragua has severed diplomatic ties with Italy over an extradition dispute involving Alessio Casimirri, an Italian citizen who fled to Nicaragua in 1983. Casimirri, a former member of the far-left Red Brigades, is accused of involvement in the 1978 kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro.

The conflict escalated after Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani criticized Nicaragua for granting Casimirri immunity. Nicaragua’s government revoked Casimirri’s nationality in 1993, but a court ruling in 1999 blocked revocation unless done through tribunals.
