BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - A court in Argentina has sentenced former junta leader Reynaldo Bignone to 20 years in prison for Operation Condor crimes.
The secret conspiracy was launched by six South American dictators in the 1970s in a combined effort to track down their enemies and eliminate them. The federal court ruled Friday.
Bignone is already serving life sentences for multiple human rights violations during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.
