Judicial authorities in Córdoba province announced the identification of eight victims of the military dictatorship whose remains were found at the La Calera military compound, where the clandestine detention center known as La Perla operated between 1976 and 1978.

The Argentine Team of Forensic Anthropology (EAAF, by its Spanish initials) recovered the remains and conducted the anthropological and genetic analyses. The team has been working at the site for more than a year.

So far, the EAAF has identified 38 people buried in the Loma del Torito area of the military compound — 12 in March, 17 in May, and another in late August.

The names were read out by Córdoba Federal Judge Miguel Vaca Narvaja at a press conference attended by EAAF members and representatives of other institutions involved in the process.
