Case No. 30.383-2003: qualified homicide case of Juan Ramón Olivares Pérez and Rubén Eduardo Orta Jopia

39.- Testimony of Carlos Eduardo Alarcón Alarcón at page 700, in which he states that in 1974 he was assigned to the barracks of the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional, DINA, located at Calle Londres N° 38 in downtown Santiago, and during his time in the DINA, he also served at the José Domingo Cañas and Villa Grimaldi barracks.

When the DINA ended, it became the Central Nacional de Informaciones, CNI , and he was sent to the Borgoño barracks , where he was one of the first to arrive under the command of Manuel Provis. There, he performed administrative duties, which consisted of being in charge of war materiel, telecommunications, and the electrical maintenance of the barracks.

Provis was there for a short time and was succeeded in command by Álvaro Corbalán, who held the position of chief until the facility was closed in 1988. He remembers a Carabineros officer with the surname Quiroz as Corbalán’s Second-in-Command.

He performed his administrative duties alone, having to report on his functions directly to the barracks chief. Regarding the war materiel, he carried out his duties in a storage room located in a loft that was built on the first floor.

He delivered rifles and machine guns directly to the heads of the groups, who were held responsible for the material received, and in turn, he answered to the head of the CNI general warehouse, which was located at the Loyola barracks.

The primary task was to control the ammunition distributed from said warehouse. He remembers the following team or group leaders: a Captain with the surname Zegers, whose alias was Catan; another Captain with the surname Andrade, nicknamed "Don Oscar"; Francisco Zúñiga, who was from the Carabineros, nicknamed "Gurka" and head of the Special Group; Carlos Herrera, nicknamed "Boccacio," who was in charge of the MIR; and another officer nicknamed "BJ." There was another officer with the surname Allende, who was in charge of the Green group.

When important operations were carried out, since the weaponry was already distributed, the situation did not change much; however, the demand for ammunition increased considerably. A service record was kept for each weapon, so every bullet fired by handguns, rifles, and machine guns had to be justified.

It was the duty of each operational team leader to account for the consumption of ammunition, and they generally stated that the total amount of ammunition was consumed during an operational action. Regarding a confrontation that occurred on Av.

Santa María near the Borgoño barracks on November 7, 1980, it seems to him that on that date he was at the Intelligence School taking a course. He was assigned the operational name "Raúl Díaz Morales," receiving the nickname "Tumbao" from his colleagues.

It is not true that he served in the "Apache" group. He reiterates that he only performed administrative duties. It is not true that he was nicknamed "Chino"; that was how an agent from the FACH was known, whose name is Carlos Alarcón Eriz, who did serve in Apache and also in the Special Group.
