Overview

• The Equipo Argentino de Antropología Forense confirmed Francisco Tenorio Cerqueira Junior's identity by matching fingerprints from a 1976 case file with Brazilian records obtained via Interpol channels.
• Argentine judicial actors led by Judge Sebastián Casanello and prosecutor Paloma Ochoa requested Tenorio's prints from Brazil after the Procuraduría de Crímenes Contra la Humanidad flagged a San Isidro file containing the NN corpse's fingerprints.
• A man with multiple gunshot wounds was found on March 20, 1976 in Don Torcuato and buried without identification in the Benavídez municipal cemetery two days later.
• The original grave was reused in 1982, preventing the recovery of physical remains, so the identification rests on fingerprint evidence preserved in judicial archives.
• The Buenos Aires Federal Chamber accredited the identification on August 26, and the family was notified through Brazil's CEMDP and prosecutor Iván Marx as the case enters the broader Plan Cóndor investigation.
