• Aldo Moro Aldo Moro was Italy's five-time Prime Minister and Democrazia Cristiana president who was kidnapped and murdered by the Brigate Rosse in March-May 1978, with his abduction occurring precisely on the morning he was to present a coalition government incorporating the Italian Communist Party - a political development that Gladio-linked investigators and the Red Brigades themselves sought to prevent.
• Francesco Cossiga Francesco Cossiga was Italy's Interior Minister during the Aldo Moro kidnapping in 1978 who resigned after Moro's murder, Prime Minister during the Bologna railway station bombing in 1980, and President of the Republic from 1985 to 1992, who became an increasingly outspoken whistleblower on Gladio and Italian intelligence secrets in his final years.
• Giulio Andreotti Giulio Andreotti was Italy's seven-time Prime Minister and dominant Democrazia Cristiana figure who refused to negotiate for Aldo Moro's release in 1978, disclosed the existence of Operation Gladio to parliament in October 1990, and was acquitted of Mafia association charges after an eight-year trial.
