Quote:The judge said the executives sought to eliminate union resistance at Ford’s Argentina subsidiary and clearly had inside information about the coming “dirty war” in which so-called subversives would be thrown into clandestine detention centers. She described a key meeting the day after the March 24, 1976, coup in which Galarraga told union leaders to “forget any kind of labor complaints” and all their problems would be resolved.
Two nights after the meeting inside the Ford factory, a heavily armed group kidnapped Amoroso at home and took him to be beaten and interrogated, according to the indictment. Other Ford union workers were bound, with bags over their heads, and beaten inside a dining area next to the factory’s soccer fields, then hauled away to jails for more torture. Some were subjected to electric shocks; others were stripped naked and injured with power tools or made to undergo false executions as interrogators sought information about union leaders’ whereabouts.
The indictment also says that when two of the victims’ spouses went to authorities seeking information on their missing husbands, a colonel showed them a list of workers’ names on a Ford company letterhead and said it was the company, not the military, that wanted the men taken away.
