Italy's justice minister has refused Argentina's request to extradite a priest accused of crimes against humanity during the country's military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Rev Franco Reverberi, 86, who served as military chaplain during Argentina's 1976-1983 military regime, faces charges related to the alleged murder in 1976 of the 20-year-old political activist Jose Guillermo Beron, and his alleged participation in torture.
