Juan Maria Bordaberry Dead at 83

The former President-turned-dictator of Uruguay Juan Maria Bordaberry died early Sunday at home at age 83. His son, Sen. Pedro Bordaberry, confirmed the death to The Associated Press.

The political leader was serving a 30-year sentence issued in February 2010 for killings and disappearances during his country’s war against so-called subversives.

No cause of death has been issued yet. Bordaberry had been suffering from breathing problems and other illnesses before he died.
