More than 90 Mexican federal agents on Saturday wrapped Cavallo in a bullet proof vest and sped him from prison to Mexico City's main airport. There, a Spanish air force jet waited to fly him to Spain to face genocide and terrorism charges. The groundbreaking case centres around Cavallo's alleged role as a military interrogator in the "dirty war," Argentina's bloody, late 1970s - early 1980s effort to silence suspected 'leftists' and anti-government activists. On June 10, Mexico's Supreme Court ruled that he can't be tried on torture charges because the statute of limitations had expired, but that he can face trial for genocide and terrorism. Mexican authorities turned Cavallo over to Spanish police officers at a state-controlled hanger outside the airport's main terminal. Representatives from the Spanish embassy briefly spoke with the prisoner. Doctors then took him to a private room in another part of the hanger to perform a medical examination. Spanish authorities said they would load Cavallo aboard an air force Boeing 707 jet, which would carry him to Madrid later Saturday. The impending extradition was one of the first won by crusading Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon, who will hear the case against Cavallo and has taken on major human rights cases like that of former Chilean dictator, General Augusto Pinochet. The case is also important because the request for the now successful extradition was filed under the terms of a bi-national extradition treaty, rather than an international rights agreement, as was the failed effort to have Pinochet stand trial in 1998. Cavallo, the former director of Mexico's private National Registry of Motor Vehicles, was arrested in 2000 after five former political prisoners alleged he had tortured them in Argentina. His accusers say Cavallo served at the Navy Mechanical School, one of the most notorious centres of repression in Argentina during the 1976-83 military dictatorship. At least 9,000 Argentinians vanished, presumably killed, often after torture. Cavallo has said that he was in Argentina's military, but he has denied involvement in torture. Cavallo has also said that he hopes to find justice in Spain.
