It took years to become known that during the 70s and 80s in Latin America, a vast international terror network called Operation Condor operated to 'disappear' the opponents of military dictatorships. Leftists, communists and Marxists were targeted by intelligence operatives across borders and became members of Latin America's 'disappeared'. What turned the tide of justice was the arrest of President Augusto Pinochet in London. It has taken a long time, however dozens of former leaders, ministers of various governments have been prosecuted for the vast crimes against humanity of Operation Condor.
