Colombia arrests Argentine fugitive wanted for crimes against humanity
Posted by Stephen Gill on Mar 14, 2016
Colombian authorities on Sunday reported the arrest of an Argentine citizen who is wanted for extradition by his country where he is accused of crimes against humanity committed during the 1976-1979 dictatorship.
Juan Carlos Francisco Bossi was picked up on Sunday by Interpol in Colombia’s second biggest city, Medellin, where he had apparently been hiding since 2010.
The Argentine fled his native country in 1983 for Spain after being accused of being part of the ‘de facto’ government called “National Reorganization Process” from 1976 to 1981.
He belonged to the Civil Intelligence Staff of the Argentine Army between 1976 and 1979 and it is alleged that he participated in killings, torture, forced disappearances, threats, conspiracy, illegal imprisonment, persecutions as well as other crimes.
