The victims, Francisco Fernández, Roberto José Rivolta Bonino, and Santos Ojeda, were all members of the union organization Agrupación 17 de Octubre and were abducted while entering or leaving their workplace on July 7, 1976.

Molinos Río de la Plata, a major food producer in Argentina, is accused of collaborating with state terrorism by providing information about the victims and facilitating their arrests by the armed forces.
