Kidnapped from Prison as a Baby
Ignacio Montoya Carlotto was 36 when he learned he'd been stolen from an Argentine prison.
Ignacio Hurban was 36 years old when he made the shocking discovery that he had been at the centre of a national scandal in Argentina without knowing it. During the military dictatorship, hundreds of babies were snatched from their imprisoned mothers and given away to people who were considered more sympathetic to the regime. Ignacio found out he was one of those stolen children and that his real surname was Montoya Carlotto. He was now faced with a new family and the kind of fame that he never asked for.
