Mario Firmenich
Mario Firmenich is a former leader of the Montoneros, a leftist guerrilla group in Argentina during the 1970s. He has been in the news recently for appealing his summons to testify regarding the 1976 bombing of the Federal Police dining hall, an attack that resulted in numerous casualties. Currently residing in Spain, Firmenich's legal troubles highlight ongoing debates about accountability for human rights violations during Argentina's military dictatorship.
