Mario Sandoval
From WikiAlpha
Mario Sandoval is a former policeman, from Argentina, who fled to France to avoid the repercussions of the restoration of Argentinian democracy.[1]
Sandoval's service as a police officer overlapped with Argentina's "Dirty War".[1]
Argentina's security officials routinely secretly kidnapped suspects, rather than openly arresting them. These individuals were colloquially known as "the disappeared", as no one knew what had happened to them. These individuals were never formally charged, never tried, never acquitted, or convicted, or sentenced. However security officials routinely secretly executed them.
Sandoval was convicted for playing a role in the kidnapping and murder of a student in 1976, named Hernán Abriata.[1]
