"Alleged" Dirty War? Whitewashing?

Ford Motor Company of Argentina was accused of collaborating with the Argentine 1976-1983 military dictatorship, actively helping in the political repression of intellectuals and dissidents that was pursued by said government. No result was proven and the company denied the allegations.

In a lawsuit initiated in 1996 by relatives of some of the estimated 30,000 Argentine citizens who disappeared during the "Dirty War", evidence was presented to support the allegation that much of this repression was directed by Ford and the other major industrial firms. According to a 5,000-page report, Ford executives drew up lists of "subversive" workers and handed them over to the military task-forces which were allowed to operate within the factories. These groups allegedly kidnapped, tortured and murdered workers—at times allegedly within the plants themselves. The company denied the allegations.

In a second trial, a report brought by the CTA, and the testimonies of former Ford workers themselves, claimed that the company's Argentine factory was used between 1976 and 1978 as a detention center, and that management allowed the military to set up its own bunker inside the plant. The company denied the allegations.


Why are documented facts presented as allegations? An allegation is a claim usually made without proof. One might get the impression that the Ford Company was telling the truth by denying "false" accusations. Since these events really happened, there is no reason for whitewashing and sugar-coating the face of the company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.217.56.106 (talk) 21:03, 8 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
