Former military intelligence captain Carlos Alberto Vega was sentenced to 12 years in prison for his role in the abduction and appropriation of Marcos Ramos as a baby in 1977, during the last military dictatorship, in Tucumán.
Ramos is the 128th grandchild to have recovered his identity thanks to the work of the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo.
Vega was convicted as a “necessary participant” not only in the abduction, unlawful detention and concealment of Ramos, but also of his older brother, Elías Ismael Suleiman, who was eight at the time.
The sentence also covers the crimes related to altering the brothers’ legal identities.
