BUENOS AIRES, Oct 29. The Federal Chamber of Appeals of Bahía Blanca in Buenos Aires province (east), has released 20 members of the Army and 16 military officers who are being investigated for crimes against humanity committed during the dictatorship (1976-1983), which has provoked outrage from much of society.
The move follows a procedural matter, since in most cases has exceeded the maximum time a person may remain in custody without having been issued a ruling against him. However, this group of military units must go to court every time a judge determined, because otherwise the release will be revoked, as provided in Article 333 of the Argentine Penal Code.
Meanwhile, follow the course of investigations carried out against them, so that any of the soldiers could return to prison if it is finally found guilty of crimes against him, according to the portal Infobae. So far, of the 1,707 people involved in crimes of kidnapping, torture, disappearances and killings committed during the dictatorship have been sentenced 167, 435 are on remand, 329 await his ruling released, 264 are in the initial phase of the process 26 are being processed and 38 are fugitives.
Of all the accused, 273 have died, 105 have been released for lack of merit (lack of evidence) and 40 for the dismissal of his case, 15 have been acquitted and many others have not been judged by his age. The trials for crimes of this period began in 2005 when it repealed the laws of Due Obedience and Full Stop that were issued in 1986 to prevent the majority of those involved in crimes against humanity were prosecuted.
