"They're bringing him back? My God, that's good news. I feel pretty good about that. It's pretty good news for many, many people."

Andreas Pirelli, aka Mario Antonacci, is moved to the Remand Centre from arrest processing on Friday, Sept 27, 2013.

"That man" to whom Jocelyne Malouf refers, still has not faced the charge of violence committed against her, as landlady to Andreas Pirelli. He stands accused of pushing her down a flight of stairs in 2007 in Montreal. She suffered a broken pelvis, arm, wrist and ankle. After which he picked her up and threw her out on the street. When an arrest warrant was issued it was because he had failed to turn up to attend his assault trial. She would understandably like to see justice done.

She had given the man a five-month rent-free accommodation as a house-sitter. The house occupant happened to be out of the country. When she asked the man known as Andreas Pirelli/Mario Antonacci, to vacate the property after the five months had elapsed, he claimed the property represented an embassy. Informing her it was his intention to keep it, with no need to pay anything for that privilege.

He is a "Freeman'. A 'sovereign citizen', who went on to claim a Calgary rental property as his 'embassy'. Rebekah Caverhill rented her duplex to Mr. Pirelli in 2011, at the recommendation of a friend. At the time he promised to fix up the place, and she would give him a few months of free rent in exchange. Once he declared himself a follower of the Freemen-on-the-Land movement, though, she was divested of her property.

He changed the locks and placed a lien on the home, his embassy: "The First Nations Sovran Embassy of Earth". She was unable to remove him; he implacably stated it was his property, not hers, and she had no recourse to restoring it to her possession; a higher power had removed it from her and handed it to him. Until Calgary police involved themselves and arrested Andreas Pirelli.


In recognition as well of several outstanding warrants issued by courts in Quebec for his detention. "It went relatively smoothly. They were able to make contact with that individual and they took him into custody without incident", explained Calgary police Insp. Darrell Hesse.

When the Canadian Press sought comments, Mr. Pirelli warned he has trademark claims on the name "Andreas Pirelli", "Mario Antonacci", and "The Fist Nations Sovran Embassy of Earth."
