Marina Petrella (born in Roma, 23 August 1954) is a former member of the terrorist Italian left wing group called the Red Brigades.[1] She was convicted to life sentence for murder.
A former school teacher in the mid 1970s she joined a terrorist group called the Red Brigades. Together with her husband, Luigi Novelli, she was arrested twice, but was never sent to jail because a verdict was not reached in time.
In 1993, she left Italy to avoid being arrested following her conviction of killing a policeman, various attempted murders and other minor offenses. She moved to Paris where, thanks to the Mitterrand doctrine, she started a new life. She was arrested by the French, but the government of Nicolas Sarkozy announced that Petrella would not be extradited to Italy on medical grounds.[2]
On April 28 2021 she was again arrested together with six other former Red Brigades members living in France.
