World Cup police cooperation nabs Argentine 'dirty war' torturer
BRASILIA Thu Jul 3, 2014 6:36pm EDT
(Reuters) - Enhanced international police cooperation during the World Cup has led to the arrest of a fugitive wanted for torture and murder during Argentina's "dirty war" against leftists four decades ago, Brazilian authorities said on Thursday.
Salvador Siciliano was a leading member of the notorious Triple A anti-communist death squad and is wanted in Argentina for the abduction, torture and murder of three people between 1973 and 1975, Brazilian and Argentine police officers said.
Siciliano, in his mid-seventies, was arrested on Thursday morning in a house in Arujá, a town outside Sao Paulo. Procedures were pending for his extradition to Argentina.
"He entered Brazil illegally and was hiding here," said Luiz Eduardo Navajas, a Brazilian Federal Police officer. "He was captured thanks to heightened cooperation during the World Cup."

be brought to justice in my life. It's very selfish and I am sorry. I want him to see the tens of thousands of children that died horrible deaths at his hands, in his dreams.

Hope he savors every moment of his prison time, and I hope fervently nothing goes wrong legally to screw up his trial.
Hope he will live to be incredibly old in prison.
Thank you, Eugene. This is great. A lot of people in or from Argentina will be so glad to learn about it.
Good work to Brazil.
