Overview
- Federal Court No. 3 in Córdoba, which confirmed Thursday, said the Argentine Forensic Anthropology Team identified the remains of 11 additional disappeared persons near the former La Perla site.
- The court will release the names at a May 12 press conference with families and human-rights groups after notifying next of kin.
- The identifications came from anthropological and genetic testing by the EAAF with the Córdoba Judicial Forensic Institute, working under Judge Miguel Hugo Vaca Narvaja.
- Excavations that began in 2025 continue in a second phase across a three-hectare area next to last year’s dig zone at Loma del Torito within the La Calera military reserve.
- Investigators report many bones were found dispersed and mixed, a pattern consistent with clandestine burials and later attempts to remove evidence, at a site tied to a detention center through which an estimated 2,500 people passed during the 1976–1978 dictatorship.
