France on Wednesday detained seven former members of left-wing Italian extremist group the Red Brigades in what was billed as a diplomatic olive branch

France has long served as a haven for Red Brigades figures from the 1970s and 80s under a policy set by former Socialist leader Francois Mitterrand, which has caused tensions with Rome.

Without naming them, the statement said they were wanted for the"most serious crimes" but it made clear that Macron had not renounced the Mitterrand Doctrine. Ultra-leftist groups like the Red Brigades sowed chaos during the period in Italy known as the"Years of Lead" -- named after the number of bullets fired -- from the late 1960s to mid-1980s.

Italy's Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio welcomed Wednesday's arrests, saying that"one cannot run away from one's responsibilities, from the pain inflicted, the harm caused."Former Red Brigades member Marina Petrella is among those detainedAmong those detained is Marina Petrella, 66, a former Red Brigades member whose extradition was blocked in 2008 by then president Nicolas Sarkozy after the intervention of his Italian-born wife Carla Bruni.

"Since the 1980s, these people have been under the protection of France. They've remade their lives here for 30 years in the full view and knowledge of everyone, with their children and their grandchildren .. and then in the early morning, they come looking for them, 40 years after the facts," she said.A French court will now examine the extradition requests.Convicted murderer Maurizio Locusta was tracked down and extradited in 1987.
