Uruguayan retired military officers Rubens Francia and Francisco Macalusso were convicted as co-perpetrators of torture and deprivation of liberty during the last military dictatorship (1973-1984) and sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison.
Retired Uruguayan forward Bryan Aldave has explained why Mamelodi Sundowns forward Gaston Sirino s exploits in South Africa is not being acknowledged back home.
Aldave believes it is of no significance that his countryman will never get any recognition in his homeland regardless of how much he excels at Sundowns.
Sirino has been of great value through the three years that he has spent at Sundowns, which brought about interest from Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly in recent months.
Yet, for all the three league titles he helped the club win in a row and the contribution he has made through that period, he has never even come close to a La Celeste national team call-up, with local calls for him to be considered for Bafana Bafana instead.
