The Evita Connection

Julian O'Halloran investigates files unearthed recently in Buenos Aires, Argentina, linking President Juan Peron and his venerated wife Eva to a secret operation to make the South American country a major haven for Nazi war criminals. It is known that notorious murderers Adolf Eichmann and Eric Priebke fled to the region, which was providing escape routes where they could evade recrimination. However, some sources believe that many other war criminals involved in Hitler's atrocities also hid there. With anti-Semitism already rife in Argentina, some Jews fear that the inquiry into these allegations, launched by the foreign minister, could spark further terrorist violence.
