About Juan María Bordaberry
- Juan María Bordaberry Arocena (Spanish: [bo?ðaße'ri a?o'kena]; 17 June 1928 – 17 July 2011) was a Uruguayan civilian President, politician and cattle rancher, who first served as a constitutional President from 1972 until 1973, and then ruled as the head of a civilian-military dictatorship up to 1976. He came to office following the Presidential elections of late 1971.
- In 1973, Bordaberry dissolved the General Assembly and was widely regarded as ruling by decree as a military-sponsored dictator until disagreements with the military led to his being overthrown before his original term of office had expired.
- On November 17, 2006 he was arrested in a case involving four deaths, including two of members of the General Assembly during the period of civilian-military rule in the 1970s.
