More than two decades ago, Adolfo Scilingo, 58, allegedly took part in a crime against humanity by throwing 30 drugged and naked prisoners from planes during the drive to crush leftist dissent during the 1976-83 dictatorship in Agrentina.

He has been convicted in a Spanish court and sentenced  to a total of 640 year jail term. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison for each of the 30 people he threw from the planes.
