based upon questions they were asked - I don't know what those questions were - but that was the basis of their allegations.

It seems like Bergoglio tried to mediate between different factions.

There were some priests and the archbishop who came before him who did actively collaborate and at least one participated in torture and murder of dissidents, but Bergoglio wasn't among them.
