THE DEATH OF ALDO MORO AND L’ BEGINNING OF THE END OF BR

The 9 may 1978 a call to professor Franco Tritto announced the death of Aldo Moro. A dramatic telephone call which fell in last wishes expressed by the Italian statesman before he was killed by the Red Brigades. That morning, very soon, the President of the Christian Democrats was boosted in the trunk of a Renault 4 redhead. According to the account of the Red Brigade members l’ Mr was wrapped in a blanket and twelve were fired shots from two different weapons, a submachine gun Skorpion caliber 7,65 and a Walther Pkk caliber 9. Over the years the direct responsibility of the murder were traced to three different people. Three different versions. The first that portrayed the scenario in which shooting was Prospero Gallinari, then where was Mario Moretti and finally that which concerned Germano Maccari. With certainty we know very little. Recently the RIS has conducted surveys that have changed that old version. The new version sees Aldo Moro not crouched in the trunk, but sitting on the floor of the boot and in a frontal position all’ performer. After l’ killing a few hours later the phone call to professor Tan by the brigades Valerio Morucci explaining where he would be found to deliver it to the family. The place chosen was via Caetani in Rome. A symbolic place being halfway between the headquarters of the Christian Democratic Party and the Communist Party.
