Editing Junio Valerio Borghese (section)

== Escape and death ==
After the cancelled coup, Borghese was taken to Spain, where other fascist militants and terrorists were fugitives. A warrant was put out for his arrest but he was not found. He died in 1974 under mysterious circumstances at 68 years before he could even be tried in absentia. While the cause of death was ruled as pancreatitis, his doctor had found him in good health a few days before. Many symptoms found in his autopsy suggest that the cause of Borghese's death may have been arsenic poisoning. 

Had Borghese lived, he would likely have been acquitted of the coup, as all other conspirators were.
