Timeline
Carlos Eugenio Vides Casanova (29 November 1937 – 21 December 2023) was the head of the Salvadoran national guard between the years 1979 and 1983 and later served as the nation's Minister of Defense between 1983 and 1989.
After his first wife died, Vides married Lourdes Llach, daughter of coffee baron, amateur astronomer, and former Salvadoran ambassador to the Holy See (1977–1991) Prudencio Llach Schonenberg.
Vides Casanova was sued in the federal civil court of Miami, Florida in the United States in two precedent-setting cases.
The cases are referred to by the surname of his co-defendant, José Guillermo García:
In 1984, four national guardsmen who had once served under Vides Casanova's command – Daniel Canales Ramírez, Carlos Joaquín Contreras Palacios, Francisco Orlando Contreras Recinos and José Roberto Moreno Canjura – were convicted of murdering four American nuns and were sentenced to 30 years in prison.
Their superior, sub-sergeant Luis Antonio Colindres Alemán, was also convicted of the murders.
Following his retirement, General Vides left El Salvador and moved to Florida in 1989 as a legal permanent resident and lived in Palm Coast.
In 1998, the four murderers confessed to abducting, raping and murdering the four nuns and claimed that they did so because Alemán had informed them that they had to act on orders from high-level military officers.
Some were then released from prison after detailing how Vides and his cousin Col. Óscar Edgardo Casanova Vejar, the local military commander in Zacatecoluca, had planned and orchestrated the executions of the nuns.
A 16-year legal battle to deport General Vides Casanova soon commenced.
On 6 October 2009 the United States Department of Homeland Security announced that it had initiated deportation proceedings against General Vides Casanova for assisting in the torture of Salvadoran civilians.
On 24 February 2012, a Federal immigration judge cleared the way for his deportation.
On 11 March 2015, the Board of Immigration Appeals dismissed General Vides Casanova's appeal.
On 8 April 2015, U.S. immigration officials deported General Vides Casanova to El Salvador.
The lawsuit filed against Vides Casanova and General García was featured in the 2018 film "The Path of the Shadows".
Vides Casanova died in San Salvador on 21 December 2023, at the age of 86.
