Reynaldo Benito Antonio Bignone (21 January 1928 – 7 March 2018)[1][2] was an Argentine general who served as President of Argentina from 1 July 1982, to 10 December 1983, the last president to serve under the military dictatorship. In 2010, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for his role in the kidnapping, torture, and murder of persons suspected of opposing the government during the Dirty War.[3]
He was the dictator who ordered the destruction of all documentation on the disappeared. His only contribution to the rule of law was the handover of command to Raúl Alfonsín.[4]
