TEXT THE
GOVERNMENT OF ARGENTINA HAS MADE A FORMAL REQUEST TO THE GOVERNMENT
OF
URUGUAY (GOU) FOR CLARIFICATION OF THE SITUATION OF FIVE URUGUAYAN
SUBVERSIVES PRESENTLY SERVING PRISON SENTENCES IN URUGUAY. THE REQUEST
WAS MADE BY ARGENTINE AMBASSADOR TO URUGUAY, CARLOS HUMBERTO
((PERETTE)
WHO EXPRESSED INTEREST IN HAVING THE INDIVIDUALS TURNED OVER TO ARGEN-
TINE AUTHORITIES. THOSE BEING SOUGHT BY ARGENTINA INCLUDE MAURICIO
CRUZ ((RUIZ)) DIAZ WHO WAS ARRESTED IN 1972 IN URUGUAY FOR SUBVERSIVE
ACTIVITIES AND WHO IN 1984 HAD HIS PRISON SENTENCE EXTENDED FOR
EIGHT ADDITIONAL YEARS. ANOTHER, DANIEL LUIS ((SALICO)) SANDOVAL,
WHOSE CASE WAS RECENTLY REVIEWED IN 1983, IS STILL SERVING A PRISON
SENTENCE FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITIES. A THIRD IS RAUL ALEJANDRO ((PIT-
TALUGO)) ORTIZ WHO IS SERVING AN EIGHT-YEAR SENTENCE FOR SUBVERSION.
THE IDENTITY OF THE OTHER TWO INDIVIDUALS WAS NOT GIVEN. THE URUGUAYAN
FOREIGN MINISTRY IS PRESENTLY PREPARING A RESPONSE TO THE ARGENTINE
GOVERNMENT, AND FOREIGN MINISTER CARLOS ((MAES0)) RECENTLY REMARKED
THAT HE WILL RECOMMEND THAT THE GOU NOT RELEASE THE SUBVERSIVES TO AR-
GENTINA DUE TO THE FACT THAT ALL WERE CHARGED WITH CRIMES OF A SERIOUS
AND VIOLENT NATURE. ( COMMENT:
IT IS
SUSPECTED THAT THE FIVE INDIVIDUALS ARE WANTED BY ARGENTINE AUTHORITIES
FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITIES COMMITTED IN ARGENTINA. IT CANNOT BE RULED
OUT, HOWEVER, THAT ARGENTINA WAS REQUESTING THEIR TRANSFER AS A HUMAN-
ITARIAN GESTURE AND PLANNED TO FREE THEM ONCE THEY REACHED ARGENTINE
TERRITORY).
