Giorgio Pietrostefani (born 1943) was a leader of Lotta Continua. In 1988 the pentito Leonardo Marino accused him (along with Adriano Sofri) of ordering the 1972 murder of Luigi Calabresi.[1] Pietrostafani was convicted in 1997, along with Sofri, Ovidio Bompressi , and Marino himself (who went free in exchange for his testimony).[1] While free pending an appeal,[1] Pietrostefani fled to France, which refused to extradite him under the Mitterrand doctrine.[2][3] In 2021 the French government arrested him, along with six other left-wing activists convicted of crimes in Italy.[2] However, in 2023 France's highest court refused to extradite him.[3]
