In the summer of 1997, the murder of photojournalist José Luis Cabezas shocked Argentina. It ultimately revealed an organized crime network which appeared to involve the country's political and financial elite. The consequences would be almost as dramatic as the crime itself, not only for the perpetrator but for the whole country.
