Former Minister of Government and Justice Daniel Delgado Diamante appeared yesterday at the National Council of Journalism to lodge a formal complaint of ethical misconduct against La Prensa and the journalist, Santiago Fascetto.

Delgado based the complaint on the newspaper’s Nov. 12 front page article entitled “Delgado Diamante justifes death,” which exposed the ex-minister’s involvement in the shooting death of Corporal Andrés García in February 1970.

At the time, Delgado was serving as a lieutenant in the now defunct National Guard.
