		Former Argentine president Jorge Rafael Videla, the 73-year-old dapper dictator who launched the so-called Dirty War in 1976, was arrested on June 9 for a particularly bizarre crime of state, one that rips at the heart of human relations.
		Videla, known for his English-tailored suits and his ruthless counterinsurgency theories, stands accused of permitting -- and concealing -- a scheme to harvest infants from pregnant women who were kept alive in military prisons only long enough to give birth.
		Marquevich found that Videla was aware of the kidnappings and took part in a cover-up of the crimes.

		Geconcludeerd kan worden dat het systeem van verdwijningen in de visie van de Regering noodzakelijk was om de bevolking een economisch beleid op te leggen waarvan veel boeren en middenstanders het slachtoffer zijn geworden.
		Nu Zorreguieta het systeem van verdwijningen heeft ondersteund, althans niets heeft ondernomen om het voortduren van deze verdwijningen te voorkomen, is hij ook voor dit onderdeel van het regeringsbeleid medeverantwoordelijk.
		Gezien het feit dat hij tot de vervanging van Videla verbonden is gebleven aan de Regering en zelfs in die periode is gepromoveerd tot ‘secretario' van landbouw, moet worden aangenomen dat hij dergelijke stappen niet heeft ondernomen, maar veeleer het plegen van de misdrijven heeft aanvaard, zo niet actief ondersteund.

	Ex-Dictator Charged for Operation Condor Crimes - Global Policy Forum - International Justice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Argentina's Jorge Rafael Videla became the first former Latin American dictator to be indicted for Operation Condor, the joint repressive missions carried out by the Southern Cone dictatorships of the 1970s and 1980s, with apparent backing from the United States.
		Argentine federal judge Rodolfo Canicoba Corral advised Videla on Tuesday of his indictment and order for ''preventive prison.'' He is accused of participating in an ''illicit association'' created to kidnap, torture, assassinate and ''disappear'' individuals and commit other related crimes.
		Videla's attorneys maintain that the sentence the accused received in 1985, during the trials of members of the Argentine military juntas, exonerates him from undergoing a new trial for crimes committed by the government during the dictatorship.

		Videla was informed by a Buenos Aires judge of an arrest warrant for purposes of extradition that has been issued for him and another 45 Argentines being prosecuted in Spain for genocide, state terrorism and torture committed during the last military dictatorship, from 1976-1983.
		Through a brief filed by his attorneys, the former "de facto" president said that Garzon "has no juridical standing outside of Spanish territory to assume powers he doesn't have." The Spanish extradition request is "void" because "it affects Constitutional principles and international treaties" signed by Argentina, his attorneys argued.
		Videla, who currently faces charges at home and is under arrest for his role in the kidnapping of the children of people who were "disappeared" by the regime, was informed of his situation, along with already arrested fellow oppressors included on Garzon's list.
