BUENOS AIRES — A Buenos Aires appeals court said Friday that Argentina will have to pay $250,000 to a Swedish man for the 1977 shooting and kidnaping of his teen-age daughter by Argentine navy personnel.
The state news agency Telam reported that the Federal Court of Appeals ordered the Defense Ministry to pay Ragnar Hagelin $250,000 for moral damages caused by the shooting and killing of his daughter, Dagmar.
Dagmar Hagelin, an Argentine-born Swede, is officially listed as “missing” after she was shot, shoved into the trunk of a car and driven away by members of a navy squad hunting down guerrillas in January, 1977.
