How did the network involved in the illegal adoptions operate, and what roles did different actors play?

The network, operating from 1982, involved lawyers, priests, social workers, health officials, and Judge Gutiérrez. They targeted impoverished mothers, offering false pretenses of temporary child protection before illegally facilitating adoptions to foreign couples for payments up to \$50,000 per child. The investigation, citing the Convention on Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights jurisprudence, argues these crimes are not subject to statutes of limitations due to their nature as crimes against humanity under the Pinochet dictatorship.
