It says, in a locked cabinet but, odds on, that cabinet is in the boot (trunk, if you're American). Lol. Makes me proud. 😊 Can New Zealand police carry guns? Arms Act 1983, s 3(2)(ii) Yes, they can and they do, in their vehicles. New Zealand police officers are legally entitled to carry firearms, because the restrictions in the Arms Act that apply to the general public don’t apply to the police (in the same way that they don’t apply to the New Zealand military). Despite the popular perception that New Zealand has an unarmed police force, police policy and practice is for all police vehicles to carry firearms in locked cabinets. So while New Zealand police officers don’t carry firearms on their hip, they do all have firearms readily available to them, that they can usually access within seconds.

With Moro died the hope for a more righteous Italy and Europe. The "historic compromise" would have put the continent on the path of a stronger social approach to economics and politics. For those who may want a last laugh, the DC was brought down in 1992 by the biggest corruption scandal in the history of Italy and Giulio Andreotti (the then PM that condemned Moro in order to get his place as the sole playmaker) is widely considered one of the most shady politicians of the century. Oh and bonus nugget: you know who was a member of P2, years before becoming PM? Exactly: Silvio Berlusconi

[@noth606]

Well, I've lived in Italy long enough to know that it you want to get rid of corruption in politics there, you'll have to evacuate all of Rome and get rid of the pidgeons and street paving stones too. It's never going to work, that, as far as I understand it, was why no one wanted Moro to live, not the right, the left or the Church. It's sad, for sure, but idealism has little place in politics, least of all in Italy. Even Cicciolina wasn't dirty enough for it ;-), that says something.

[@Pantsinabucket]

You’re leaving out a key detail here, while P2 probably didn’t orchestrate it, they KNEW Moro would be kidnapped and purposefully avoided taking action. In 1975, Italian police would arrest a drug trafficker with a genuine British passport named Terrence William Abbott. At his arraignment, Abbott revealed that he was actually “Ali Khoury”, a Palestinian terrorist based out of Lebanon. Using this newly invented identity, “Ali Khoury” infiltrated the Red Brigades in prison and befriended Renato Curcio. He would go on to inform on the Red Brigades’ plans, primarily to Vito Miceli, a P2 member who was the former head of Italy’s intelligence services, who had been arrested for plotting a coup (this caused the 1977 reorganization of their intelligence services). Miceli by then had “cleared” his name and acquired a seat in Italy’s parliament, maintaining his P2 connections. “Ali Khoury” informed Miceli and the police of the Red Brigades’ plans to kill both the judge presiding over Curcio’s trial and Aldo Moro. Yet, the Italian government took no actions to protect them. Instead, Graziano Gori, the cop leading the investigation into “Ali Khoury”, would die in a suspicious hit-and-run car accident. So who was “Ali Khoury”? Well, at trial, Judge Giorgio Floridia would order his release on the grounds that he was a member of the American secret services, and exposed his real identity as Ronald Hadley Stark. Stark was a CIA agent infamous for being the world’s largest trafficker of LSD, the inventor of butane hash oil (dabs), and running a trafficking network stretching from California to Lebanon and further on to Afghanistan, being the primary fixer for the Brotherhood of Eternal Love until its collapse in 1973. Through his Brotherhood connections he had successfully infiltrated numerous leftist groups, trafficking rings, and Lebanese/Palestinian militias across the world. Coincidentally, the only newspaper worldwide to report on Stark’s 1985 “death” is La Repubblica, the same newspaper Aldo Moro holds up in his proof-of-life hostage photo. So yeah, the CIA and P2 knew this was going to happen, and chose to let it happen. I would agree with the Red Brigades’ own claims that they acted independently, but they also acted without real interference for a reason.

Strange things that don't add up, it's not a matter of if a cospiracy was really under all of it, it's more like a lot of little conspiracies converged to a single objective, firstly to allow the kidnapping and then to delay any help.

Something more to add, it seems also that high members of Democrazia Cristiana, Moro's party, knew where he was and decided not to save him. Raffaele Cutolo, one of the biggest Mafia bossess in Italy's history and creator of modern Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia, who had partial control over Rome too later said that some of his men working with the Banda della Magliana (a famous gang from Rome) had come to know where Moro was situated and said so to some region's high ranking members of Democrazia Cristiana that apparently gave him the cold shoulder about the news as if they had no interest in saving him. This was declared by him while in 41 bis (a special italian prison for Mafia and a few other things which is also attacked by many courts for being to harsh) we cannot know the truthfulness of his affirmations.

Must do: This is Serbia's JFK Mystery. The assassination of the Prime Minister of Serbia on March 12, 2003 at 12:25, in the courtyard of the Government of the Republic of Serbia building in Belgrade, has many associations with the JFK assassination, and the whole story is very interesting, both because of Zoran Đinđić himself, and because of various foreign secret services which operated and waged their wars on the territory of Serbia, sending messages to each other in their great geostrategic game. The break-up of Yugoslavia and the bombing of Serbia without the permission of the UN Security Council is a precedent that opened Pandora's box, which later developed into what we have today in the world, and the murder of Djindjic depicts the fate of leaders who decide to say no to dictates and decide to break relations with services that helped him to come to power and start leading the sovereign policy of his country.

I was a five years old baby playing outside in the frontyard of my house in a quiet town in the western Alps, even if there was absolutely no danger for me in that moment, when my mother heard the news in the special TV news she was so scared that shouted at me telling me to go immediately inside the house. I had no idea of what was happening but it was clear to me that something terrible was happening since all the adults were so scared and worried about what would have come next. I came here out of curiosity about how these events would have been told and analyzed outside of Italy. I subscribed for the quality of the contents and the intersting topics. Great job 👍

Italian film Il Divo about PM Giulio Andreotti can perhaps share some light on the dealing that went backstage in Italy at the time. How the Mafia, P2, Christian Democracy were all in bed together and all influenced the political landscape of cold War Italy

Tremendous work, as always! Your pacing & production quality are truly insane. And as someone who is woefully ignorant of a lot of European history, your channel is slowly turning me into a functional human being

I still remember that day… i was at kindergarten, my dad came to pick me up… we arrived at home 5 min later, both my grandpa (both served in WWII) already standing guard… my uncle arrived 25 minutes later… it was quite scary…

[@jmacku35]

I think the start of Europe/Sweden video is what really made it so great, the time,place, and a cliffhanger on an _only_ somewhat relevant detail. I’m glad you copied that.

It’s important to note that Moro was center left, the CD was split about half and half between the center right and the center left

[@vincenzomazzella9080]

2 interesting things to say: 1 it was really stupid for the red brigades to assassinate Moro. In the end it essentially achieved nothing. They could have done much more of an impact if they released Moro just after his letter when he denounced and resigned from the CD. 2 an interesting fact about the kidnapping and assassination of Moro is that various high ranking criminals from Rome’s criminal underground (the Magliana Gang) and from the Neapolitan Camorra (led by Raffaele Cutolo) testified in later unrelated cases that they were approached during the first days of the kidnapping by Italian Secret Service agents who asked them to find Moro. They also testified that they eventually found Moro but that the Secret Service “didn’t need the information anymore”. Those are of course words from criminals so take them with a pinch of salt. If they were telling the truth though then possibly the Secret Service and the government knew for a while where Moro was being kept but decided to do nothing.

[@alexandrosgoulas]

Please, please, please, go and read Moro's farewell letter to his family, the last one he wrote in captivity, when he knew that he was about to be killed soon. You will soon forget all the political background and get a poignant glimpse of the tragedy he was going through, and will be surprised of how he still managed to find the most touching words of love for those he had to leave behind

As an Italian, thank you for covering this dark piece of our history, if you want, check out also the history of Mr. Falcone and Mr. Borsellino, two very important figures of the antimafia commision that got brutally killed in an explosion in the highway, alone with their security guarda. RIP these men

Poor Mori - the indignity of being found in the boot (trunk) of a Renault 4! No one familiar with the vehicle would want to be seen, even dead, in one..!

[@panzerparty6510]

Before I watch the video, just so I remember about this: It is highly contested that the car ahead of Moro's "slammed the breaks". What is believed to have happened is that it did not start at a green light, blocking the traffic, and shortly after the BR opened fire, killing most of the escort detail. One managed to get his pistol out and return fire though, but being the only one capable of doing so and hopelessly outgunned, he was immediately killed.

Hello i am from belgium and we had also a incomplete case it’s called “ les tueurs du Brabant “ or in Flemish “ de bende van nivel “ it’s super complex I hope you could do a video about it 😅

[@nikiTricoteuse]

Very interesting and well done. I moved to Bologna not long after the train station there was blown up. Even then, the red brigade was spoken of in hushed terms but, l never knew the stories behind the murder of Aldo Moro. Trying to find out who was involved, would be like trying to find out which drop of the Mediterranean had come from which river.

[@sberiya2]

I have never seen something more misleading than this video. Claiming that the access of the PCI to the Italian government or that Eurocommunism sought to represent itself as "more moderate" is believing that the Communist "forces" (parties, movements, groups, etc) back then were a cohesive unit. It is far more correct to understand how different factions inside the Communist movement coexisted (there was a spectrum from the more radical factions to the moderate ones) and the context of every case. Saying that the movement of the PCI to the centre was just to moderate its image is simplistic at best.

Now wondering what weird mysteries we’ve had in Scotland - unless you find the Ice Cream Wars interesting at all, or who the mystery assassin to the Last Glasgow Godfather was (Arthur Thompson) but those are crime related and not political

[@silverXnoise]

“JFK Mystery” like they know precisely who committed the act, how it was carried out, why they did it, and they arrested the culprit within a few hours of it happening? That kind of JFK mystery?

[@sethjohnson5704]

Except they didn’t bc the CIA killed him, the rifle the supposed shooter used doesn’t match the markings on the bullet that killed JFK, you might want to look a little closer at it, I’d recommend Wendigoon, he has a great vid on it!
