He was arrested by Argentine intelligence officers shortly after the extradition of former CIA agent Michael Townley to the US, and charged of espionage [1]. He was sentenced in Argentine a life sentence for the 1974 assassination of General Carlos Prats in Buenos Aires and convicted of crimes against humanity [2].
