Eighty-nine-year-old Luciano Benjamin Menendez is already serving several other life sentences for human rights violations.
Thursday's verdict is for 282 disappearances, 52 homicides, 260 kidnappings and multiple cases of torture at a clandestine military base in the central Argentine city of Cordoba

Former Army Capts. Hector Pedro Vergez and Ernesto Barreiro also were sentenced to life imprisonment. They directly oversaw the La Perla-La Ribera torture center. It's believed to be the largest such center outside the capital.
