Overview

• A human-rights judge, Álvaro Mesa, opened a reserved case to verify the identity of a woman in Argentina and to examine possible mishandling of information by state bodies.
• Chilevisión located a 79-year-old in Miramar whose Argentine ID matches Vera’s birth day and month but not the year, and whose son said off camera she is his mother.
• Reporting cites Swedish migration records showing a woman using Vera’s identity received residency in 1978, an ID in 1984, later nationality, and subsequently returned to Argentina.
• Security Minister Luis Cordero said the evidence makes an inquiry plausible but reiterated that the state does not have certainty the woman is Bernarda Vera.
• The revelations triggered scrutiny of the Plan Nacional de Búsqueda after a former coordinator alleged delayed disclosure of leads, and the family has requested privacy as checks proceed.
