2007 October 9

Conviction of a member of the Catholic Church

In 1984, the Nunca Más report stated that "some members of the clergy were involved or endorsed, with their presence, their silence, and even with justifying words" the repressive practices investigated by CONADEP. The report includes the remarkable case of the Catholic priest Cristian von Wernich, who then served as chaplain of the Investigations Directorate of the Police Force of the Province of Buenos Aires. The trial of Von Wernich began in July 2007 and concluded on October 9 of that same year. He was convicted by the Federal Court on Criminal Matters No. 1 of La Plata for crimes against humanity committed at the so-called “Camps” circuit.
