Recently declassified files suggest that Nazi war criminals may have paid $200 million in gold bribes to Argentine authorities to secure refuge in the country after World War II.
Infamous Waffen-SS commando Otto Skorzeny wended his way to Argentina after WWII and served as a bodyguard to Eva Peron, who he allegedly had an affair with. Skorzeny, once described by SHAEF Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower as "the most dangerous man in Europe," eventually moved to Ireland in June 1957 and then to Madrid, Spain, where he would die at age 67 in 1975.
