From the article:
Italy's justice minister has blocked the extradition of a priest sought by Argentina for colluding with the country's bloody 1976-1983 military dictatorship, human rights advocates said.
Minister Carlo Nordio ruled against extraditing Franco Reverberi on health grounds, reversing an earlier decision and overruling Italy's top criminal court, which had approved the extradition in October.
Fr Reverberi, 85, a military chaplain in the western province of Mendoza in 1980, has been sought by the Argentine justice system since 2012, after he fled Argentina for Italy, taking up residence near Parma.
