Another son of kidnapped dictators found in Argentina Founder of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX agrees to extradition to US

Decades after his divorce from his mother, another man has been identified as the descendant of the victims of Argentina’s military dictatorship. The son of Lucía Ángela Nadin and Aldo Hugo Quevedo is the 131st abducted child of regime opponents found, the human rights organization Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (“Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo”) said Thursday (local time).

Human rights groups estimate that up to 30,000 government opponents, left-wing activists, trade unionists and students disappeared during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983. In the fight against alleged communist activities, security forces have killed countless people in secret prisons. Human rights activists also believe that about 500 babies and small children were given to foster parents by the military under false identities.

After lengthy investigations, the man was identified a few months ago and ordered for a DNA test, the organization said in a statement. It turned out that the man, who was probably born in March or April 1978, was the son of the kidnapped couple.

Accordingly, Nadin and Quevedo belonged to the urban guerrillas PRT-ERP and were kidnapped by the state security forces during the 1977 military dictatorship in Buenos Aires and taken to secret prison camps. After Nadin gave birth to her son, her trail was lost. (aeg/sda/dpa)
