The following is the complete list of DINA agents, which was provided a few years ago by the Army to the Courts of Justice. The text was kept under lock and key for a long period, but time eventually leaked it to human rights lawyers and a journalist specializing in this subject.

This document, which has never been published in a print medium, has reached Clarín from the desk of a journalist who has followed multiple cases of human rights violations during the dictatorship. The document, therefore, is completely authentic. It concerns more than a thousand agents, some prosecuted, others convicted, and not a few already deceased.

Book: Ingrid Olderock: The Woman of the Dogs (Excerpt)

The name (and photograph) of the DINA agent Irma Nella Guareschi Salmerón appears in the book "Ingrid Olderock: The Woman of the Dogs" (September 1, 2014 - Editorial Montacerdo, Chile) by journalist Nancy Guzmán Jasmen.

Irma Guareschi Salmerón was an Army official and was trained in repression and torture practices by Ingrid Olderock, Director of the DINA Women's School. Of the groups that operated in Villa Grimaldi, "Tigre" was composed of Carabineros captain Ingrid Olderock, Army lieutenant Manuel Carevic Cubillos, Rolando Mosqueira Jarpa, Marco Sáez Saavedra, Manuel Vásquez Chauán, Palmira Almuna Guzmán, Alfonso Faúndez Norambuena, Antonio Paredes Pedraza, Irma Nelly Guareschi Salmerón, Manuel José Leyton Robles, Verónica Águila Ubilla, Elsa del Transito Salazar, and Francisca del Carmen Cerda Galleguillos.

Book: "Hunting the Hunter: Detectives After Crimes Against Humanity" (Debate Publishing - Pascale Bonnefoy Miralles)

Olderock was the only one who provided useful information that allowed for the expansion of the search range for repressive agents. She identified some and incriminated them in acts of torture, described the methods they used, and spoke of how the DINA had a barracks in Colonia Dignidad.

Olderock had mentioned another DINA agent with whom she had traveled abroad, Irma Guareschi Salmeron. Sub-commissioner Miranda verified that between 1974 and 1975, Olderock traveled to Spain, Peru, Panama, and France, and that between 1974 and 1990, Guareschi traveled to Peru, Brazil, Argentina, and Ecuador on DINA and CNI missions.

They also went on vacation. Olderock gave the detective a black-and-white photo of the two women in some Italian ruins in 1975, the year of the attack on Christian Democrat leader Bernardo Leighton, carried out by the DINA in Rome.

The detective went to Irma Guareschi's house in Las Condes, but did not find her. He left her a summons to go to Department V. On the day of the appointment, Guareschi did not appear, but an Army lawyer, Rodrigo González Vera, did arrive, sent, he said, by the commander of the Army Auditor's Office, Heraclio Núñez.

He wanted to know why they were summoning Guareschi, who turned out to be an Army captain and former member of the DINA counterintelligence unit. Miranda asked him to confirm if she had been a DINA agent, as Olderock declared. No response ever came from the Army.

Contreras: History of an Untouchable. The Germ of the DINA

INTERFERENCIA is presenting to its readers, in a dozen chapters, the book that narrates the biography of the late General (R) Manuel Contreras Sepúlveda, former head of the DINA during the civil-military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. We believe this is a way not to forget one of the darkest chapters in the contemporary history of our country.

In December 1972, Colonel Manuel Contreras took charge of the direction of the Tejas Verdes School of Engineers, a military unit located next to the mouth of the Maipo River, a short distance from the very exclusive seaside resort of Rocas de Santo Domingo.

At 42 years old, Contreras was a man of great vitality and proud of the enormous influence he held in the Corps of Engineers. He quickly linked up with several of the most determined opponents of the Allende government based in San Antonio, Llolleo, Cartagena, and other towns on the central coast.

Among his closest friends were soon the transport businessman Cristián ‘‘Toty’’ Rodríguez; the announcer Roberto Araya Silva; the owner of the “La Bahía” hotel in Cartagena, Benito Tricio; Juan Basagoytía; Rafael Letelier; Manuel José Moreno; and Enrique Manzur. Tricio and some others were of Spanish origin and had arrived fleeing Francoism in the late 30s and early 40s.

The closest, however, was ‘‘El Negro’’ Jara, a former Cavalry officer who lived in Algarrobo and who maintained close ties with the most active militants of the Nationalist Front Patria y Libertad and the Rolando Matus Command, which depended on the National Party.

Jara helped Contreras quickly learn how the provincial government of the Unidad Popular functioned in San Antonio, who was who among the communist and socialist leaders, who the most active union members were, the presence of the MIR, the organization of the Supply and Price Boards, JAP..., in short, every detail, every nucleus, every structure of the ‘‘red port’’, a name that opponents gave to that maritime terminal.

Contreras fulfilled one of his first assignments at Tejas Verdes at the dawn of the 50s, and the soldiers or corporals who had known him when he was young, and who were now sergeants, took it upon themselves to add information to the true legend that was already forming around the officer's figure.

-My colonel would enter the mess hall when he was a lieutenant and all the captains would say, "What do you want, Mamito? What do you need?" He always showed that he was better than everyone else-, stated one of the sergeants.

A young Navy officer who was performing duties at the Maritime Governorate of San Antonio obtained authorization to stay at the Tejas Verdes officers' mess, a situation that allowed him daily coexistence with the unit's commanders.

It was common for a group of officers to meet in that place to play a game of cacho in the mess hall canteen, accompanied by some ‘‘borgoña’’ or several ‘‘piscolas’’, sessions that Contreras often attended. On one of those occasions, Contreras got up from the gaming table and made several phone calls. He returned to the group and commented:

-Captain Úbeda is at his house with some civilian buddies who came to mooch off him and, for a change, talking bullshit. Lieutenant Garcés, acting like a ladies' man. Janito Rodríguez, as always, in the arms of his little wife. But I lost track of Vitoco Lizárraga...

The Navy officer could not believe what he was seeing and hearing. He could not resist the temptation to ask.

-You have to know what your own people are doing!-, Contreras told him upon seeing him so surprised.

-But how do you do it, my colonel?, asked the sailor.

-Aaaaahhhhhh...-, was the enigmatic response.

Years later, the Navy lieutenant, while taking the specialized Intelligence course that the Army taught in the town of Nos, when remembering the episode, conjectured that Contreras had managed to maintain a complete network of informants in Tejas Verdes, absolutely unofficial, which allowed him to know at any moment what his officers were doing.

The Tejas Verdes School had at that time as deputy director Lieutenant Colonel Alejandro Rodríguez Faine; in the position of secretary of studies, Major Jorge Núñez Magallanes served; and, commanding the instruction battalion, was a major nicknamed ‘‘El Topo’’ López.

A version provided to the Vicariate of Solidarity by former agent Juan René Muñoz Alarcón, murdered with 36 stab wounds in October 1977, indicates that in Tejas Verdes, places were prepared to receive detainees on September 9, 1973, two days before the military coup. The whistleblower had heard that version from conscripts who arrived at the School of Engineering to fulfill their military service.

On the day of the coup, Colonel Manuel Contreras managed to control the entire jurisdiction under his command in a few hours. In the following days, in the basements of Tejas Verdes, cruel torture was practiced on several detainees, even using acetylene torches to pierce the victims' bodies.

Numerous testimonies about the horror that was experienced there were collected by the members of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission created during the government of President Patricio Aylwin.

The Tejas Verdes prisoner camp -known as ‘‘El Sheraton’’- was located at the foot of a hill where detainees could observe two crucifixes, a very short distance from the route that enters Santo Domingo, next to the Maipo River, and hidden behind a palisade.

People who came from ‘‘La Silla’’, the secret barracks that operated at Londres 38 street, next to the San Francisco church, in the heart of the city of Santiago, were taken there. The prisoners arrived blindfolded on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays aboard a closed truck, normally used to carry meat.

In the compound, under the command of a lieutenant, there were 14 cabins, two courtyards, and four watchtowers. After 20 days of staying in that camp, they were taken blindfolded in a truck to the regiment's facilities to be interrogated, where they were subjected to various methods of torture. Former prisoners of the place managed to identify more than a dozen different torments.

One of them was recounted by Muñoz Alarcón:

The ‘‘execution’’.- It is rarely used. It rather corresponds to an extreme measure that was used during the months of September, October, and November. It is not known to have been practiced after these dates. The method is as follows:

After having carried out various interrogations, with a diversity of methods, the person is ‘‘condemned’’ to execution. Throughout the day, Army personnel take care of erecting a palisade that is covered with sandbags.

A wooden stool is placed in front. The preparations are made with quite a bit of noise and voices alluding to the execution. This also serves to intimidate the rest of the detainees.

In the afternoon or very early in the morning, the detainee is taken out, hooded, and tied with hands behind their back. Then they are seated on the stool and arranged appropriately. A member of the Army (lieutenant or other officer) approaches and suggests ‘‘amicably’’ that it is preferable to confess everything they know than face the execution, which can only be avoided by confessing guilt, etc.

If there is a refusal or the idea of innocence is maintained, a ‘‘priest’’ is brought in who, Bible in hand, gives the last rites to the detainee. The priest will accompany the detainee until the end. Next, a member of the Army reads a ‘‘decree-law’’ that declares the person guilty and condemned to execution.

The sound of weapons is heard, the priest prays and slowly withdraws. Soon the command order and the volley are heard. With incredible precision, an iron bar is dropped on both of the detainee's shoulders and a blow is struck to the head that leaves the person unconscious.

The most brutal and dramatic moments were experienced between September 1973 and March 1974, when the guards were transferred. One of the sergeants was assigned to the north; the other, to a military unit near Santiago. The torturers and several officers were also changed.

The notorious variations in the treatment of prisoners coincide with the departure of Colonel Contreras. In the first days of March 1974, the officer leaves Tejas Verdes and hands over command of the unit to Colonel Manuel de la Fuente.

From the first weeks that followed the military coup of September 11, 1973, Colonel Contreras began to put his knowledge and skills in intelligence into practice. He was an Academy professor in that subject and had demonstrated outstanding gifts in that regard in Chile and abroad.

In all the units where he had been assigned, he put that knowledge into practice, carrying out war games and exercises with officers and enlisted personnel.

At the end of September 1973, Contreras attended one of the meetings of the Intelligence Community of the National Defense General Staff, which was coordinated by Air Force General Nicanor Díaz Estrada.

There, he succinctly presented his ideas on the need to promote an anti-subversive struggle and to count on the best resources of the Armed Forces for the political intelligence that was urgently needed.

All those present, officers of the Navy, the FACh, and the Carabineros, knew that Colonel Contreras had the personal backing of General Pinochet and that the proposed purposes were going to be transformed into a new entity, more powerful, more fearsome than any of the intelligence services known in Chile up to that moment.

In the following days, Contreras took charge of a secret department that began to organize information on the thousands of prisoners who were crowding into the National Stadium, the Chile Stadium, and various military units and concentration camps distributed throughout the country.

The volumes of seized documents formed hills, the lists of detainees were endless, and it was urgent to know as much as possible about the MIR, the GAP, the PS, the PC, the foreigners, the Marxists who were trying to pass unnoticed in universities, industries, and the government.

The colonel required many people, the best men not only from the Army but also from the Navy, the FACh, the Carabineros, the Investigations police, and civilians, many civilians.

He began to review the components of the latest War Academy courses, marking those who had some preparation in intelligence. He thought of the officers who had been most loyal to him, his acquaintances, his friends, the possible civilian experts he only knew by hearsay.

The next step was to begin formally asking the other armed institutions to put them at his disposal. The Office of the Comptroller General of the Republic then proceeded to authorize the transfer of officers and non-commissioned officers to fulfill service commissions for the new and secret entity, where they would carry out ‘‘special activities’’.

Contreras remained in command of the School of Engineers and had his private home in Rocas de Santo Domingo. He decided to concentrate in that area the first cadres that would make up the DINA.

The last six weeks of 1973 were decisive for the organization that the colonel of the engineering corps was forming. The first men chosen were placed under his command; from the seat of the military government, in the Diego Portales Building, it was ordered to transfer the civilians who were collaborating in intelligence work; and, the Government Junta created the National Executive Secretariat for Detainees, Sendet, which would regulate the treatment of detainees.

In the reserved decree that created the Sendet, the legal origin of the DINA had been incubated, as a department in charge of regulating interrogations, classifying prisoners, and coordinating intelligence work.

Several of the first DINA officials began to operate from the second floor of the closed National Congress, where in the 90s several of the most important offices of the Directorate of Multilateral Relations of the Chilean Foreign Ministry functioned.

On December 8, 1973, Colonel Manuel Contreras moved to Marcoleta 90, very close to Plaza Italia, in Santiago. That building would become the central headquarters of the DINA.

In the upper floors of the former seat of the Legislative Power, in front of the Palace of Justice, the civilians who had come to form the Citizen Intelligence Brigade, BIC, known as the Miraflores Brigade, were located, in charge of gathering data from companies, hotels, airlines, press media, embassies, public offices, professional associations, unions, and any other instance that deserved suspicion.

At the beginning of January 1974, Carabineros Captain Ingrid Olderock, a paratrooper and seasoned expert in martial arts, began the training of the first DINA women's course, installed in several modest cabins that had been part of a vacation colony in Santo Domingo, which Colonel Contreras decided to occupy without hesitation or formalities.

Simultaneously, several dozen men who had received basic training in intelligence traveled to Santiago and other important cities to lay the foundations for the new brigades in charge of arrests, interrogations, and the true hunt for militants of left-wing parties.

The founding officers of the DINA, both from the Army and the other armed institutions, were personally selected by Colonel Contreras and, it was assumed, were the most determined and capable. In contrast, the non-commissioned personnel made available by the Armed Forces and Carabineros were those who, in their respective units, were the most problematic: drunks, people with marital problems or pending legal issues, personnel qualified in lists 3 and 4, etc.

At first, the intelligence services of the Armed Forces and Carabineros, without losing their respective identities, operated without major problems under the unified command of Contreras. Such good understanding lasted until 1975, the year in which the Army Intelligence School was institutionalized and established at the Los Morros de Nos estate, in a property that was donated to the Army by Sergio Fernández Larraín, an old conservative politician.

Colonel Contreras -a man very jealous of exclusivity- did not look favorably upon the beginning of the establishment of an intelligence doctrine other than that taught at the ENI, the National Intelligence School, a DINA institute that had been operating since 1974 at the former La Rinconada de Maipú estate, and whose real estate facilities were expropriated from the Agronomy School of the University of Chile.

To such annoyance of Contreras must be added the growing antipathy and incompatibility that, since the end of 1974, began to occur between the colonel and General Odlanier Mena, Director of Army Intelligence.

On several occasions, Mena complained to General Pinochet that it was inconceivable that a colonel should have greater powers than those of generals, which, incidentally, was strictly true.

Furthermore, Mena's complaints referred to the fact that Contreras refused, since the beginning of 1975, to attend the coordination meetings of the Armed Forces Intelligence Community, an unofficial entity that operated in the building located at Alameda and Presidente Ríos, meters from Santa Rosa Avenue.

Between 1975 and 1977, the struggles between the DINA and the intelligence entities of the Armed Forces and Carabineros became increasingly unsustainable, reaching the extreme of hindering each other in the search and evaluation of information.

Lieutenant Colonel (R) Sergio Fernández, director in 1975 of the Army Intelligence School in Nos, described Colonel Contreras as a Nazi and arrogant; this, in the presence of all the students of the School.

The secretary of studies of the School, Major Riveros, warned his boss to measure his words since in that course there were several officers belonging to the engineering corps and, because of them, close to or acquaintances of Colonel Contreras.

Conflictive situations occurred daily, leading to fistfights between student officers of both Intelligence schools, particularly when there were a few drinks involved. On one occasion, in May 1975, the then-Major José Zara Holger, who provided services to the DINA, pointed his loaded and cocked revolver at a captain who was taking the Basic Intelligence Course in Nos, while demanding that he repeat that such a course was shit.

The captain had no choice but to accede to Zara's request.

In the 1976 Officer Qualification Board, due to pressure exerted on the Corps of Generals by Pinochet himself, General Mena was called to retirement, receiving as a consolation prize the embassy in Paraguay.

Contreras thus saw his struggle with Odlanier Mena partially won, having circumstantially increased the operational capacity of the DINA, an entity that, under such conditions, only continued to have rivalry with an enemy of minor importance: the FACh Intelligence Directorate, which, at least in the immediate future, did not represent difficulties for Colonel Contreras.

Although, since the beginning of 1975, with Pinochet's consent, it had been clearly established that the DINA would only carry out political intelligence functions and, obviously, the repression tasks now widely known, and that the functions related to military intelligence would be the task of the respective institutional services, Colonel Contreras did not miss the opportunity to show how far the arms of the DINA could reach.

In March 1975, Carabineros Captain Ingrid Olderock, attached to the DINA, was consulted by Contreras about the possibility of infiltrating military installations in Peruvian territory.

The captain -a strange and very determined woman- took very little time to accept the mission and to present to Contreras her H.F., fictitious history.

Ingrid Olderock would take advantage of her true status as a Lutheran pastor and her perfect command of the German language to enter Peru heading a pastoral delegation that would promote the reading of The Bible.

Such a delegation would be formed by six young women who in 1974 had completed the first intelligence course in Rocas de Santo Domingo. The girls had to know how to play the guitar and sing reasonably well.

To fulfill her mission, Ingrid required only a suitable van that had a Federal German license plate and an appropriate stock of Bibles. The rest would be her entire responsibility.

Colonel Contreras accepted immediately. A week later, Captain Olderock received the van and all the evidentiary documentation of the vehicle's German origin. Frantically, the captain covered it with stickers with religious motifs and readings such as ‘‘Christ is Coming’’ and ‘‘The Bible is a source of salvation’’.

The next step was to instruct her agents rapidly on the nature of the mission to be fulfilled, for which she had the efficient help of Irma Guareschi, one of Ingrid Olderock's favorite advisors.

The infiltration mission was fulfilled with the greatest of success, even exceeding General Contreras's original expectations.

In little more than a month, the pastoral delegation toured all of Peru, from south to north and from north to south, entering all the military spheres it wanted.

Under the pretext of offering copies of The Bible to the personnel of officers, non-commissioned officers, and troops, the delegation entered the premises and dedicated concerts of hymns to the uniformed men.

In addition, Ingrid Olderock, an expert Lutheran theologian, knew how to handle her feigned misuse of Spanish very well to harangue her listeners regarding the need to prepare conditions for the Second Coming of Christ.

It was thus possible to verify that the Peruvian Army was using state-of-the-art Soviet weaponry and that in artillery firing exercises they were using topographic maps edited by the Military Geographical Institute of Chile, in 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 scale, of the Chilean provinces of Arica, Iquique, Antofagasta, and La Serena.

It was also possible to evaluate the level of preparation of the crews of the Peruvian Army's Soviet tanks, which was rated as very bad in Ingrid Olderock's report.

Perhaps the most spectacular -if not the most productive- result of the infiltration into Peru by Captain Olderock and her pastoral delegation was having been able to enter the ‘‘La Joya’’ air base of the Peruvian Air Force and having photographed the Mirage fighter-bomber formations, a strategic reserve element in the expected war against Chile.

Likewise, it was possible to count on photographs of Cuban, Hungarian, and Soviet officers who served as instructors in the Armed Forces of Peru.

The struggle between the intelligence media of the Armed Forces and the DINA finds a picturesque and eloquent expression in a situation that occurred during 1976 in the province of San Antonio.

It was public knowledge that former President Eduardo Frei traveled with relative frequency to the seaside resort of Santo Domingo, staying in the mansion of an enigmatic and wealthy businessman of Hebrew origin named Klein, and being accompanied most of the time by his former Undersecretary of the Interior, Raúl Troncoso, or by Rafael Moreno.

It was also public knowledge that Frei habitually held meetings with former deputy Juana Dipp and with the now also former parliamentarian Sergio Velasco, at that time director of the DUOC of San Antonio. Both were active leaders of the then-illegal Christian Democratic Party.

The CIRE of San Antonio, without the consent of the governor of San Antonio and director of the Tejas Verdes School of Engineers, Colonel Julio Bravo Valdés, decided to follow in Eduardo Frei's footsteps.

For this purpose, a vehicular follow-up was chosen, which yielded no more results than confirming the meetings of the former ruler with his political comrades.

The next step was to commission a corporal attached to the CIRE to see the possibility of infiltrating Klein's residence, a task that gave good results since the butler of the house turned out to be homosexual, so he agreed to let the corporal provide gardening services.

Within a week, the corporal of the San Antonio CIRE was moving freely in the residence, having managed to install wireless microphones and being able to converse on several occasions with the former president.

The first detection of importance that the infiltration achieved was to verify the holding of a meal between Frei and several retired Carabineros generals, in which there were acidic references to the Pinochet government.

In addition, and thanks to the microphone system, it was possible to establish the entirety of the social and political links of the former ruler in the area comprised between Melipilla, Algarrobo, and San Antonio.

With such achievements, the lieutenant in charge of the CIRE decided to inform Colonel Bravo of the action taken. The colonel, skipping normal channels and out of a motivation of solidarity between comrades-in-arms -both from engineering- informed the director of the DINA of the achievement obtained by his people, who enthusiastically approved the infiltration and offered his collaboration to expand it.

But, in parallel and out of a motive of cunning, Bravo informed the same to his direct superior, the commander of Military Institutes, General Julio Canessa Robert.

Canessa, after having congratulated Bravo for what he considered an intelligence feat, ordered categorically, after three days, that everything achieved be rendered void. What had happened? Simply that the Army Intelligence Directorate, informed by Canessa, absolutely disapproved that a CIRE was providing services to the DINA; this, despite the obvious good background information that was being obtained with the infiltration.

Another aspect, this time almost anecdotal, also had the Tejas Verdes School of Engineers as its setting.

At the beginning of 1974, the United States-born priest, Gerald Brown, a member of the Holy Cross congregation, began to serve as parish priest of the Rocas de Santo Domingo church.

From the beginning, Father Brown made a public show of his sympathy for the Military Junta that had overthrown President Allende, coming to serve as honorary chaplain of the Tejas Verdes School of Engineers and officiating the Eucharist once or twice a month for General Augusto Pinochet at the Bucalemu estate when he spent some weekends of rest in that place.

In addition, during 1974, the priest made a couple of tours of the United States in which he gave lectures in favor of the legitimacy of the Chilean military coup.

In private conversations with a lieutenant of the School of Engineers, Father Brown admitted to having been one of the promoters of the publication and sale in Chile of the book None Dare Call It Conspiracy, a text written by conservative American Catholics that denounces the existence of the synarchy, a supposed alliance of economic potentates of all nationalities for world domination.

The concept of synarchy (in Greek, co-government or joint government) is called by other writers ‘‘worldism’’, a context in which there was a Judeo-Masonic-Marxist conspiracy to standardize the life of the peoples of the world, destroying for this purpose any vestige of local tradition or culture.

It should be noted that only one edition of None Dare Call It Conspiracy, with a prologue by Gonzalo Ibáñez Santa María, circulated in Chile during 1974. Asked about this fact, Father Brown replied in his poor Spanish:

-It is the conspiracy, it is the conspiracy...

However, the priest was able to gift a copy to General Augusto Pinochet, noting later that he had been deeply impressed by the content of the work.

Father Brown -before falling into disgrace- came to have a close relationship of friendship with Pinochet, sharing long after-dinner conversations with him at the Bucalemu lunches.

On a spring Sunday in November 1975, former President Eduardo Frei, accompanied by his former Undersecretary of the Interior, Raúl Troncoso, attended the noon mass at the Rocas de Santo Domingo parish.

It was usual that after each Sunday service Father Gerald Brown would go out to chat with his parishioners in the church entrance atrium. On that occasion, the former ruler had the obvious idea of going to present his greetings to the priest, who gave Frei an effusive handshake.

Such a gesture was seen by all those attending the mass and deemed a simple act of courtesy. But Inés de Gálmez, spouse of the then-mayor of the seaside resort, Domingo Gálmez, did not share the general appreciation and hastened to make immediate telephone contact with Lucía Hiriart de Pinochet, her boss at CEMA Chile, before whom she denounced the ‘‘irresponsibility of this fucking priest’’.

A week later, the then-director of the School of Engineers, Colonel Manuel de la Fuente, received an official letter from the head of the Military House of the Presidency of the Republic, in which it was indicated to him that, ‘‘for having incurred in inconvenient public conduct’’, Father Gerald Brown was prohibited from entering the Tejas Verdes School barracks and the Bucalemu estate.

Colonel de la Fuente -a man not given to arguing- hastened to comply with the provision, despite being an observant Catholic and a friend of the clergyman.

A lieutenant of the School of Engineers continued to invite the priest to his house since he provided sacramental assistance to his elderly father. The colonel noticed the fact and called the officer to his office.

-Listen, young man. Don't you know that Father Brown cannot enter the School grounds?

-My colonel, my house, even if it is state-owned, is my house and I am in charge there. Besides, Father Gerald is my friend and he brings communion to my father.

-Agreed. Then, the next time Father Gerald comes to your house, you come the next day to sign your service record with a day of arrest.

-At your order, my colonel, but I will be forced to file a complaint against you.

Fortunately for the lieutenant, Colonel de la Fuente, besides being little given to arguing, felt a sickly horror at the possibility of complaints against him. Father Brown continued to visit the officer's house.

In February 1976, Colonel Julio Bravo assumed the direction of the School of Engineers, a man given to making his authority prevail and a fervent Catholic.

One of his first actions was to find out what had happened with Father Gerald Brown, as he considered that the personnel under his command needed religious assistance.

Once he learned of the whole situation, Bravo communicated by ministerial telephone with his personal friend, the then-Colonel Manuel Contreras, director of the DINA, and asked him to support the rehabilitation of the priest.

Contreras, who was perfectly aware of the injustice done to Father Brown, hastened to commission two officers from his department to visit the clergyman and issue a comprehensive report specifying the reality of what had happened.

On April 12, 1976, two DINA captains interviewed Father Gerald Brown at the School of Engineers barracks, subsequently assuring Colonel Bravo that the problem would be resolved in a short time.

However, after a month had passed, nothing indicated that the parish priest of Rocas de Santo Domingo had been rehabilitated by the Military House.

At the end of May of that year, Colonel Bravo received notice that General Pinochet would spend two days at the Bucalemu estate.

-This is our opportunity. We are going to tell my General Pinochet that the DINA gave the green light to Father Brown-, the officer commented to his aide.

Colonel Julio Bravo and his aide traveled to Bucalemu to await the arrival of General Pinochet, who was traveling from Santiago accompanied by his wife. It was a Friday afternoon.

When Pinochet had arrived, everyone present settled down to have tea in one of the rooms of the Bucalemu residence.

They began by talking about general topics, for example, how the situation was presenting itself among the port workers of San Antonio, an area of leftist tradition. After an hour of conversation, Pinochet gave instructions about his two days of rest.

-...and I would like, Bravo, for there to be mass this weekend; you know that one has to be on good terms with the gentleman upstairs-, he said to the colonel.

Bravo cast a furtive glance at his aide.

-My general, I think it would be the opportunity for Father Gerald Brown to return to these parts. You know that the DINA filed a report that...

-Under no circumstances, Augusto!, intervened Doña Lucía furiously.

-I am not going to allow that mooching priest, who only came to drink your whiskey, and who allowed himself to shake hands in public with that scoundrel Frei, to step foot in this house again!-, she added.

General Pinochet directed an eloquent look at Bravo.

-My friend, in this life one must know how to lose-, Father Brown would later comment to his friend the lieutenant.

The personnel who came to work at the DINA is estimated at several thousand people. Its internal structure varied constantly according to the operational needs that changed several times between 1973 and 1977.

Shortly before being dissolved, in the DINA there functioned groups, units, brigades, departments, and barracks, all of them with very clearly established hierarchies and commands. Below are some aspects of the DINA structure:

DIRECTORATE. - During its entire existence, the DINA had Colonel Manuel Contreras in this position. Working next to him were people of his absolute trust such as Néliga Gutiérrez, his private secretary, and Army officer Alejandro Burgos, liaison officer, assistant, and coordinator of the director. Later he was replaced by Hugo Acevedo Godoy.

GENERAL STAFF. - There are diverse versions about the number of members it had. It is known that it was composed of Rolf Wenderoth, César Manríquez Bravo, Vianel Valdivieso, Raúl Eduardo Iturriaga Neumann, Hernán Brantes Martínez, Marcelo Moren Brito, Maximiliano Ferrer Lima, Víctor Hugo Barría Barría, and Germán Barriga Muñoz, among others, all Army officers.

SUBDIRECTORATE. - At first it was Rear Admiral Rolando García and he was followed by Army officer Gerónimo Pantoja, who had a more important role than his predecessor.

OPERATIONS DIRECTORATE. - This position was created when the DINA had a clearly defined structure and it seemed necessary to replace the General Staff. The head of this entity was Lieutenant Colonel Pedro Espinoza, known as ‘‘Don Rodrigo’’ and who before arriving at the position served as head of the Villa Grimaldi detention and torture center.

Under the Operations Directorate were the Foreign Department and the Interior Intelligence Department. From the INTERIOR INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT depended the Metropolitan Intelligence Brigade (BIM), the Regional Intelligence Brigade (BIR), and the Citizen Intelligence Brigade (BIC).

-The Metropolitan Intelligence Brigade (BIM) was in charge of DINA operations in the Metropolitan Region. Upon being created, it merged under its command the Caupolicán, Purén, and Lautaro brigades, which changed commands as objectives varied.

In the Purén brigade, directed until 1975 by Raúl Iturriaga and in charge of the Socialist Party, worked many officers who later carried out important missions abroad.

The Caupolicán Brigade was the most feared. From it depended the Águila, Halcón I, Halcón II, Tucán, and Vampiro groups, which exercised direct repression work.

Initially, the BIM, whose first head was Army officer Carlos López Tapia, had its base in Rinconada de Maipú, on an estate expropriated from the University of Chile. Later it moved to Villa Grimaldi, where Caupolicán -in charge of the fight against the MIR- and Purén, in charge of other parties, operated mainly.

The General Staff, in charge of general intelligence work, supported the director of the BIM. It also had its own logistics section and administered the most important DINA prisons such as Cuatro Álamos and Villa Grimaldi.

The Regional Intelligence Brigade (BIR) operated in the regional capitals and was in charge of all operations in the provinces.

The Citizen Intelligence Brigade (BIC) had the task of gathering information from public offices, the identification registry, hotels, various companies, hospitals, and private clinics. It was composed only of civilians and was headed by Carlos Labarca Metzger. Guido Poli and Fernando Rojas Cruzat also worked in it.

FOREIGN DEPARTMENT

emerged in April 1974 and by June had developed a great extraterritorial capacity with operational agents in several countries.

Its basic missions were to neutralize people considered enemies of the Chilean military regime, organize the trips of high government officials, and exercise control over the official network abroad, that is, the officials assigned to diplomatic missions.

It was divided into Cóndor -a group of the intelligence services of the Southern Cone-, Intelligence, and Counterintelligence.

It had far-right civilians and personnel from the three branches of the Armed Forces who already had training in the intelligence area. The majority belonged to the DINA. It also had officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and employees of Chilean companies with offices in other countries.

The director of the DINA exercised close and direct control of the Economic Department and the Counterintelligence Department, where the Telecommunications unit operated under the charge of Vianel Valdivieso, a man of total trust of Colonel Contreras.

In the DINA, the Analysis Department was very important, with archive and foreign analysis work. This department provided special assistance to the Operations and Economic departments.

There was also the General Headquarters Brigade which mainly had custody functions for the compound and which more than once also carried out operational work. The person responsible was Army officer Juan Morales Salgado, who headed Colonel Contreras's escort.

This brigade depended directly on Reumen, a counterintelligence unit directed by the one who was the last undersecretary general of the military government, Jaime García Covarrubias.

Other brigades such as Fresia and Guacolda also operated.

From the Logistics Department depended all the barracks, clinics, acquisitions, and electronic intelligence.

Near this was the Psychological Operations Department, which had a propaganda and psychological warfare unit, a press unit, and a public relations unit.

In Rocas de Santo Domingo, under the charge of Mario Jara, the Bronce Group operated.
