The former Argentinian officer accused of 23 murders dies in Berlin

A former Argentine military officer has died of natural causes in Berlin just weeks before he was accused of killing 23 members of leftist groups during the country's military dictatorship.

The 75-year-old former naval officer was suspected of kidnapping, disappearing, torturing and killing 23 young individuals in 1976 and 1977, Berlin prosecutors said.

Prosecutors did not name the suspect, but the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights (ECCHR), which helped victims' relatives file a case against the suspect, named him as Luis Kyburg.

About 30,000 people disappeared during Argentina's military dictatorship, which launched a violent campaign against suspected left-wing political critics in the 1970s and 80s./ CNA
