Ricardo Taddei was arrested in Spain on February 2006. An international arrest warrant was issued against him by Argentine authorities.
Though Taddei was arrested on an international warrant, an official at Spain's National Court said the tribunal was studying whether he is wanted in Spain as part of an eight-year investigation by Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzon into alleged crimes against humanity in Argentina and neighboring Chile.
Extradition proceedings are supposed to start soon.
Trial Watch would like to remind its users that any person charged by national or international authorities is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
