Charles Lescat
Charles Lescat (Buenos Aires, February 19, 1887 - 1948) was an Argentine citizen, who studied in France and wrote in Je suis partout, the ultra-Collaborationist review headed by Robert Brasillach. His full name was Carlos Hipolito Saralegui Lesca.
He was a volunteer during World War I. In France, Lescat became a personal friend of Charles Maurras, leader of the Action française (AF) monarchist movement. Part of the AF, he also presided over the administration council of Je suis partout, and was editor in chief of this review for a time. In 1941 he published an anti-Semitic book titled Quand Israël se venge (When Israel takes revenge), through the Grasset publishing house.
At the Liberation of Paris, he took refuge in Germany before travelling to Franquist Spain. He arrived in Uruguay in 1946, and later established himself in Juan Peron's Argentina. There, he organized one of the ratlines used by collaborators and former Nazi fugitives. Charles Lescat helped Pierre Daye find refuge in Argentina.
Lescat was condemned to death in May 1947 by the Justice Court of Paris, but, despite extradition requests from France, was never sent back to Europe. He died in Argentina in 1948.
