Nadia Desdemona Lioce is an imprisoned Italian member of the Red Brigades.

Life

Lioce studied history at the University of Bari.[1]

In 1984, she began a relationship with Luigi Fuccini. Together they participated in the Pantera student movement [it] and become involved with political movements associated with anti-Zionism, Sandinista solidarity and a self-managed social centre.[1] Lioce lived in Pisa with Fuccini until 1995, when she went underground. In 2002, as part of the investigation into the 1999 murder of academic Massimo D'Antona [it], a pre-trial detention order was made against Lioce in absentia and five other people. The Minister of the Interior Giuseppe Pisanu later said that Lioce, alongside Mario Galesi [it] and Michele Pegna, was a militant of the Combatant Communist Nuclei, and had joined the BR-PCC (Red Brigades - Communist Combatant Party).[2]

Lioce was arrested in 2003 with Galesi after a shootout on a train travelling between Rome and Florence. When policemen passing through the train wanted to check their identification papers, the two drew guns; Galesi and a police officer were shot dead, Lioce was arrested unharmed.[3] The following year, she faced trial for the murders of D'Antona and Marco Biagi, two men who had drawn up laws restricting workers' rights.[4] At the trial, prosecutors alleged that Lioce had carried out the murders and was on a mission to research a new target, because she was found in possession of a spy camera hidden in a cigarette packet. She spoke only to say "I am a political prisoner, militant of the Red Brigades [..] I don't say a word anymore."[5]
