Nicaragua and Italy sever ties over Aldo Moro extradition dispute
Nicaragua cut diplomatic ties with Italy after Rome pressed for the extradition of Alessio Casimirri, convicted in the 1978 kidnapping and murder of former Italian Prime Minister Aldo Moro. Nicaragua says it cannot extradite its own citizens, while Italy says it will continue to seek Casimirri’s extradition and accountability for Moro’s killing.
