1966
Héctor Ricardo García and the Aerolíneas Argentinas hijacking
Crónica founder Héctor Ricardo García participated in the 1966 hijacking of an Aerolíneas Argentinas DC-4 by the far-right nationalist Condor Group. The flight was redirected to the Falkland Islands. García said he had joined as a journalist, while later claims alleged that he had been a key supporter of the operation. The episode concerns the founder’s conduct and biography rather than a documented corporate action by Crónica.
