Page "Aldo Moro" Paragraph 29

When the Red Brigades decided to kill Moro, they placed him in a car and told him to cover himself with a blanket saying that they were going to transport him to another location.

After Moro was covered, they shot ten rounds into him, killing him: according to the official reconstruction after a series of trials, the killer was Mario Moretti.

Moro's body was left in the trunk of a red Renault 4 in Via Michelangelo Caetani.

Despite the common interpretation, the location was not midway between the national seats of DC and of the Italian Communist Party ( PCI ) in Rome ( in this case to symbolize the end of the Historic Compromise, the alliance between DC and PCI sought by Moro ), but towards the Tiber River, near the Ghetto.
