Spain extradited Ricardo Miguel Cavallo, a former member of Argentina's armed forces suspected of crimes against humanity committed under his home country's military dictatorship, Efe reported.
Cavallo will arrive in Buenos Aires later today, the newswire said, citing police sources. Madrid's National Court authorized his extradition two weeks ago after shelving a case in Spain accusing him of genocide, terrorism and torture, Efe said.
Cavallo had been in Spain since 2003 after being extradited to the country from Mexico, Efe said. An Argentine judge had requested his extradition from Spain in 2006, Efe reported. The Argentine military is suspected of killing as many as 30,000 people in a ``dirty war'' against its opponents, many of whom were kidnapped and tortured, during the 1976 to 1983 dictatorship.
