Col. Alberto Julio Candiotti, a former Argentinian military officer who was wanted for crimes committed during the country’s 1976-1983 “Dirty War,” was arrested May 23 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Information for the whereabouts of the 68-year-old, who was residing in the city with his wife, was valued at 100,000 pesos (USD $20,000). The former officer was arrested by Uruguay’s National Police. Authorities are currently uncertain whether Candiotti sneaked into the country or falsified documents to gain admittance.
