'Democracy needs Magnetto, Mitre and Noble to be judged'
The president of the AFSCA media watchdog Martín Sabbatella has celebrated the decision to call the chiefs of Grupo Clarín to give evidence in the Papel Prensa case, stating that the ruling represented a victory for democracy.
"The request has once more brought to light that big media businessmen, especially the owners of Clarín and La Nación, were complicit in the military dictatorship with corresponding benefits," the official asserted, referring to the petition from prosecutor Leonel Gómez Barbella for Héctor Magnetto, Bartolomé Luis Mitre and Ernestina Herrera de Noble among others to testify.
"It was useful for the repressors to hide the horror that was ripping through the people, while the media outlets were allowed to make a profit, concentrate and control the journalistic market.
The case aims to determine whether paper company Papel Prensa, currently part of Grupo Clarín, was wrongly appropriated during the dictatorship of 1976-83, and is presided over by judge Julián Ercolini.
Sabbatella also called on the magistrate to "question the businessmen, so the truth can come out and this crime does not go unpunished.
"There are justified suspicions concerning the role of those businessmen in a sale that was forced under torture and allowed them to keep control of paper supply for newspapers and magazines, impose monopoly rule and condition freedom of expression and plurality," he underlined.
"It is important to find out whether the precursor to the media empire Magnetto carved out is in the torture chamb er in which they tormented Lidia Panaleo and Rafael Ianover."
