18. I found an article by Verbitsky, making the claim:

... El mismo Grasselli vendió al grupo de tareas de la ESMA en enero de 1979 la isla "El silencio", del Arzobispado de Buenos Aires, donde Aramburu comía sus asados de fin de semana, para que allí se alojara un grupo de prisioneros de modo que la Comisión Interamericana de Derechos Humanos no los encontrara cuando inspeccionara las instalaciones militares ...

... Grasselli himself sold the island "Silence", where the Archbishop Aramburu of Buenos Aires ate his weekend meals, to ESMA in January 1979, so they could hide there a group of prisoners from the American Commission on Human Rights when it inspected military facilities ...

So this story might involve a prior Archbishop Aramburu, but I see no obvious connection to Bergoglio

Apparently the Guardian's columnist garbled Verbitsky's claim. And apparently Wikipedia has garbled the claim, too

Facts matter. Parry quotes O'Shaughnessy in the Guardian attributing the following claim struggle4progress Mar 2013 #5

You realize he never mentioned that Bergoglio was the Archbishop, right? Gravitycollapse Mar 2013 #6

He says "with the connivance of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, now the Jesuit archbishop of Buenos Aires" struggle4progress Mar 2013 #7

Bergoglio is of Italian descent. He became a priest in 1969. JDPriestly Mar 2013 #15

Yes. It may have been unfounded. People can file any kind of a case. JDPriestly Mar 2013 #22

i think (though it's not completely clear) they use bergoglio's title as 'cardinal' because he was HiPointDem Mar 2013 #20
