Address: Villa El Duraznal, block 7, site 5, Lo Hermida, Santiago. Marital Status: Married, two children Occupation: Driver Political Affiliation: No known political affiliation. Date of Detention: October 15, 1973

REPRESSIVE SITUATION

Hernán Manuel Peña Catalán, 20 years old, married, with two children, and no known political affiliation, was detained on October 15, 1973, at approximately 5:30 PM, while traveling from his mother’s house to his own—located about 4 blocks away—in the Lo Hermida neighborhood of the capital.

His captors were Carabineros who, moments earlier at 5:15 PM, had inquired about his whereabouts at his mother’s home, where they were informed that he had already left for his own residence. A few hours later, around 6:30 PM, the same officers, Carabineros Francisco Torres Contreras and Manuel Veloso Ortiz from the 13th Los Guindos Police Station, appeared at the victim's home and interrogated his spouse in a violent and rude manner regarding his whereabouts.

The uniformed officers were traveling in a red Chevrolet pickup truck, in which two other Carabineros were holding Luis Vergara González—a friend of the victim who is also currently classified as forcibly disappeared—under guard. The Carabineros took a photograph of the victim and a certificate of good conduct from the aforementioned home.

In the judicial proceedings initiated regarding his disappearance, there is a statement from Second Corporal of Carabineros Juan Manuel Veloso Ortiz, who states that he did indeed serve at the 13th Carabineros Station in Ñuñoa in 1973.

He recalls an incident at a soccer field located near the La Faena neighborhood, where a shooting occurred between civilians, resulting in the detention of approximately 50 people who were transported by bus to the station.

However, he claims that during the journey, one of the prisoners "caused a disturbance inside the vehicle," prompting one of the police officers to discharge a machine gun, which resulted in the death of a civilian.

Subsequently, in the following days, he was tasked along with other Carabineros, who formed a civilian commission, with locating and detaining Hernán Manuel Peña Catalán, as police investigations allegedly identified him as the author of some of the shots fired at the soccer field.

They went to the victim's home and his parents' home without finding him, proceeding to raid the sought-after person's home without further warrants. The officer adds in his statement that it is untrue that the victim's photos and certificate of good conduct were stolen, and that their search yielded no positive results.

The Court did not question him regarding the situation of Luis Vergara González, whose detention is directly related to that of the victim.

Neither the victim nor Luis Vergara González had any connection to the alleged shooting.

His family made multiple efforts to determine his whereabouts, but all were unsuccessful, and they remain unaware of the fate he met at the hands of his captors.

JUDICIAL AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

On March 29, 1974, a collective writ of amparo was filed for 131 people—including the victim—before the Santiago Court of Appeals, case file 289-74. The writ was dismissed on November 28, 1974. This resolution was appealed and confirmed by the Supreme Court, which ordered the appointment of a Visiting Judge.

The Court of Appeals appointed Mr. Zurita as the Extraordinary Visiting Judge, who was constituted in the 1st Major Criminal Court of Santiago, with the case registered under No. 106.657.

On September 22, 1975, the Judge, regarding the case of Hernán Manuel Peña Catalán, issued a temporary stay of proceedings on the grounds that the existence of a punishable act had not been proven. This resolution was approved by the Santiago Court of Appeals on October 5, 1976, despite the fact that there were no investigative steps taken in the proceedings to identify the Carabineros officers who were serving at the 13th Ñuñoa Station at the time of the events.

On June 23, 1977, his family members filed a complaint for presumed misfortune before the 8th Major Criminal Court of Santiago, case file 15.607, which detailed the events that culminated in the victim's disappearance, while also identifying the Carabineros who raided his home and were holding Luis Vergara González Vergara in detention.

Otilia de las Mercedes Pérez Narváez, the victim's spouse, appeared in the proceedings and ratified the terms of the complaint, adding that among the steps taken, she went to the 13th Station and managed to speak with Carabinero Manuel Veloso, who denied having gone to her home.

On September 29, 1977, a criminal complaint for kidnapping was filed before the 11th Criminal Court of Santiago, which declared itself incompetent and referred the files to the 8th Court, where it was consolidated with case 15.607.

Two investigative orders were issued in the case and carried out by the Investigations police, but they yielded no results. Likewise, negative responses were received from the Ministry of the Interior, the General Cemetery, International Police, and the Legal Medical Institute. On March 10, 1978, Second Corporal of Carabineros Juan Manuel Veloso Ortiz gave the statement mentioned above.

On April 26, 1978, the Judge considered it unnecessary to continue the investigation, given the terms of Decree Law 2191 of 1978 (Amnesty); he declared the summary closed and, on May 2 of that year, definitively dismissed the case by virtue of the aforementioned Decree Law.

This resolution was rejected by the Santiago Court of Appeals for finding the investigation incomplete, returning the case to the summary stage.

On July 5, 1978, Carabineros Colonel Jorge Armando Nicolás Rojas Zamponi appeared before the Court and stated that in October 1973, he served as the Commissioner of the 13th Ñuñoa Station, concurrently with the position of Government Delegate in that commune.

Regarding the disappearance of Hernán Peña Catalán, he remembers nothing. He also does not recall the victim's spouse consulting with station personnel in his presence regarding her husband's whereabouts.

On August 9, 1978, the case was again dismissed, this time temporarily, on the grounds that no punishable act had been proven in the records. The resolution was approved by the Santiago Court of Appeals.

Previously, on February 4, 1974, another complaint for presumed misfortune was filed before the 11th Criminal Court of Santiago, case file 11.003, which was dismissed in July 1977 without having made any progress in determining the victim's fate.

The anthropometric data of Hernán Peña Catalán were attached to case 4449-AF of the 22nd Criminal Court of Santiago, regarding the crime of illegal burial in Patio 29 of the General Cemetery of unidentified persons who died between September and December 1973.

The investigating judge ordered the excavation of 108 graves in September 1991. From there, 125 bodies were exhumed and sent to the Legal Medical Institute. Preliminary reports indicated significant matches between one of the bodies and Hernán Peña. As of December 1992, final forensic reports were awaited for the judge to determine the identification of some of the bodies.

A few weeks after the coup, a group of Carabineros took revenge for a fight at a soccer match in the La Faena neighborhood. On International Human Rights Day, we tell this story, which is part of the podcast Ñuñoa tiene memoria, which narrates stories of places where dictatorship crimes occurred in the commune.

In September 1973, two soccer teams from the La Faena neighborhood faced off at the San Carlos field. The match was between neighborhood residents: on one side was the Unión Victoria team, made up of residents from the west of Ictinos Street; on the other, the Club Deportivo Cordillera, made up of those living to the east.

The ball rolling across the dirt field kept the eight players per side distracted from the enormous crisis being experienced at that time. None of them knew yet that the country's cruel destiny would intersect with the outcome of that match.

On International Human Rights Day, at El Desconcierto, we remember this story, which is part of the Podcast Ñuñoa tiene Memoria by Ñuñoa tu Radio in co-production with the National Stadium Corporation and Memoria Nacional, which tells the stories of places in the commune where human rights violations occurred during the dictatorship, but in many cases are not recognized today.

What happens on the field does not stay on the field

There were only a few days left until the coup d'état led by Augusto Pinochet. However, in this sector of the capital, which at that time belonged to Ñuñoa, the concern was how Unión Victoria could overcome the goal difference with Deportivo Cordillera. The enthusiastic soccer players were young. The youngest was 15, the oldest 22.

A kick or simply a taunt—time has made these details fuzzy—strained the atmosphere, and insults led to punches. Héctor Vásquez Sepúlveda, a La Faena resident who switched from Unión Victoria to Cordillera, got into a fight with Francisco Contreras Torres, who belonged to his former team and was a Carabinero from the 13th "Los Guindos" Station (current 18th Station of Ñuñoa).

Abuse of power The worker Luis Vergara González was heading home to Villa Lautaro a few minutes after 9:00 PM, the time set by the Military Junta for the curfew that day, October 15, 1973. A little over a month had passed since the bombing of La Moneda and with it the seizure of power by the Armed Forces.

The intensity of the fight increased. Juan Manuel Veloso Ortiz, also a Carabinero from the 13th Station, a coworker and teammate of Francisco Contreras, joined the brawl to support him. On the rival side, Hernán Peña Catalán, Luis Vergara González, José Ramírez Díaz, and Pedro Pérez Godoy got involved.

The San Carlos field was the scene of a pitched battle, although nothing different from what happens in hundreds of matches that occur every weekend in the neighborhoods of Santiago.

"What happens on the field, stays on the field," some commented after the fight, but that was not the case. "The match was between them, two teams, a normal match. My dad's team was winning and, I don't know, they got annoyed and started throwing punches.

My dad hit him, because he was good with his fists. Then the coup d'état happened and the cop took it upon himself to go look for him. I think that was an abuse of power," recalls José Barahona Ulloa, son of Héctor Vásquez.

Abuse of power The worker Luis Vergara González was heading home to Villa Lautaro a few minutes after 9:00 PM, the time set by the Military Junta for the curfew that day, October 15, 1973. A little over a month had passed since the bombing of La Moneda and with it the seizure of power by the Armed Forces.

Luis was a few blocks from his house when a red pickup truck approached him, which until a few weeks earlier had belonged to Miria Contreras Bell, personal secretary to the late President Salvador Allende.

But the 22-year-old worker did not know that and only saw a vehicle from which Francisco Contreras, the police officer he had fought with at the San Carlos field, got out. Together with another Carabinero, they subdued him to take him into custody. The vehicle quickly set off: he would not be the only one.

A couple of streets away, in Villa El Duraznal, was the house of Hernán Peña, a 20-year-old driver who had also participated in the match. At his home, they only found his two children and other relatives, so the police decided to "sweep" the neighborhood until they found him. They took him as well. The destination was the "Los Guindos" Station.

"They were detained in a civilian car, which curiously had been taken, confiscated, from President Allende's secretary. It belonged to La Payita," relates Alejandro Ancalao, a doctor of history and head of the Heritage Department of the Municipality of Ñuñoa, an organization that is investigating the victims of the dictatorship in the commune.

"Is Beto there?" Ancalao narrates that two days later, the police repeated the routine with Pedro Pérez Godoy, who was a 15-year-old boy, and José Adrián Ramírez Díaz, who was a 20-year-old young man, a seventh-grade student who worked as a market assistant. They were detained on Ictinos Street.

These two young men were taken to the same place as their Deportivo Cordillera teammates; however, it was already overwhelmed by the number of detainees, so they were transferred to the Quilín Police Post, dependent on the 13th Carabineros Station.

At 1:00 AM, they were taken out of the police facility and transported in the red pickup truck of "La Payita" to the facilities of the Cousiño Macul Vineyard.

The vehicle stopped before a panoramic view of Santiago under curfew. Carabineros, under the instructions of Lieutenant Pedro Herrera Mossuto, made the amateur soccer players from the La Faena neighborhood get out and forced them to walk to the banks of the San Carlos canal.

In that place, the officers drew their firearms and shot them. The wounds caused the death of José Ramírez, while the whereabouts of Pedro Pérez remain unknown to this day.

"Is Beto there?" was heard only hours later on October 18, 1973, in front of Héctor Vásquez's house. The young man from Deportivo Cordillera was bathing, and his siblings received the two Carabineros dressed in civilian clothes who were asking for him: Francisco Contreras and Juan Manuel Veloso.

The officers were known to the family because they lived in the neighborhood. It seemed like a simple visit from neighbors.

When Héctor came out of the bathroom, they asked him to accompany them because he had to give a statement at the station about the fight at the soccer match. The police took him away in a public bus, where they coincidentally ran into the young man's mother, who became worried when she saw the scene.

The Carabineros told her not to worry, that they only needed to take his testimony and he would be back home soon. Since that day, Beto has been a forcibly disappeared person, just like Luis Vergara and Hernán Peña, about whom no further information was obtained since their kidnapping.

Héctor Vásquez's girlfriend at the time, Mercedes Ulloa Almonacid, who was expecting a child with him at the time of his kidnapping, recalls: "I found out because his sister told me he had been lost, that some people had taken him, but they didn't even know if they were Carabineros because they weren't dressed as Carabineros; that he had been lost and then two, three, or four days passed (...) His sister started looking for him later.

A week passed and he didn't appear. They had told us that his mother had seen him."

13th Carabineros Station during the dictatorship Historian Alejandro Ancalao explains that the case of the young men from the La Faena neighborhood reveals that the crimes of the dictatorship were against the entire population and not just directed at a political sector. "The target was not only political people, with political participation, but it was the entire society.

To implant terror, fear, in the entire society, and that was done indiscriminately," he argues.

The head of the Heritage Department of the Municipality of Ñuñoa adds that many of these abuses were carried out thanks to "the henchmen, those who accuse or denounce neighbors due to problems between them, and we end up with cases of forcibly disappeared persons who had absolutely no political relationship, but were simply due to the arbitrariness of public officials."

"Between 1973 and 1990, all police stations in the country were places of detention. All of them. There is not one that did not have detainees, that did not have forcibly disappeared persons within them, or where there was no torture within one.

All are recognized, and some were destroyed in the final days of the dictatorship to be able to erase some cases," the expert concludes based on official reports.

In 2017, the Supreme Court sentenced former Carabineros Francisco Contreras Torres and Pedro Herrera Mossuto to seven years in prison for the disappearance of Héctor Vásquez. Furthermore, in 2021, the highest court determined a sentence of 10 years and one day in prison for officer Juan Paredes Rodríguez for the qualified homicide of José Ramírez Díaz and the abduction of the minor Pedro Pérez Godoy; another 10 years and one day for Francisco Contreras Torres for the qualified kidnappings of HERNÁN PEÑA CATALÁN and Luis Vergara, the same crime for which it sentenced Pedro Herrera Mossuto to 7 years in prison.

Likewise, Bernardo Pérez Arriagada was sentenced to 7 years in prison for the murder of José Ramírez Díaz.

Héctor Vásquez's son, José Barahona, maintains that "they gave the cop very little" and says, almost 50 years after the event: "I have little hope that he is alive, what I do have hope for is that his bones might appear."

Despite the sentences, those close to the victims and neighbors of the station know very little information about the case. For example, Mercedes Ulloa states that she knew the other victims besides Héctor Vásquez, her boyfriend at the time. "But I didn't know that the same thing had happened to them, that they had taken them, that they had killed them," she says.

Supreme Court confirms ruling sentencing former Carabineros for abduction of a minor, kidnapping, and homicide

The events occurred in Peñalolén in 1973. The repressors were traveling in a pickup truck that had been illicitly requisitioned from Miriam Contreras Bell, personal secretary to former President Salvador Allende.

The Supreme Court rejected the cassation appeals filed against the sentence that convicted four retired Carabineros officers from the then-13th Los Guindos Station for their responsibility in the crimes of abduction of a minor, qualified kidnapping, and homicide, crimes perpetrated in October 1973 in the current commune of Peñalolén.

In a unanimous ruling (case file 20.937-2018), the Second Chamber of the highest court—composed of ministers Carlos Künsemüller, Haroldo Brito, Manuel Antonio Valderrama, Jorge Dahm, and lawyer (i) María Cristina Gajardo—confirmed the challenged sentence, issued by the Santiago Court of Appeals, which sentenced Juan Gregorio Paredes Rodríguez to 10 years and one day in prison as the author of the qualified homicide of José Adrián Ramírez Díaz; plus 3 years and one day in prison for the abduction of the minor Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy.

Meanwhile, Francisco Fernando Contreras Torres must serve a single sentence of 10 years and one day in prison as the author of the qualified kidnappings of Héctor Manuel Peña Catalán and Luis Armando Vergara González; Pedro Alejandro Lorenzo Herrera Mossuto must serve a single sentence of 7 years as the author of the qualified kidnappings of Héctor Manuel Peña Catalán and Luis Armando Vergara González; and Bernardo Segundo Pérez Arriagada was sentenced to 7 years in prison as the author of the qualified homicide of José Adrián Ramírez Díaz.

In the investigation of the case, conducted by Visiting Judge Leopoldo Llanos, the following facts were established: «Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy, single, 15 years of age, primary school student, without political affiliation, whose address was located at Block 10, Site 20, Villa Los Guindos in the commune of Ñuñoa; and José Adrián Ramírez Díaz, single, 20 years of age, assistant to a street market merchant, without political affiliation, illiterate, member of a family of eleven siblings, residing at Block 17, Passage 152, house 6882, Villa Pedro Lagos in the commune of Peñalolén, on October 17, 1973, were walking along a street near their homes, together with a friend, José Romilio Sepúlveda Merino.

At the moment they reached the intersection of Los Orientales and Ictinos streets, Ñuñoa commune, currently Peñalolén, at approximately 3:00 PM, they were detained, without cause, nor any administrative or judicial order, by officers belonging to the 13th Carabineros Station of Ñuñoa (...) The young men were forced to climb into the back of the pickup truck.

The truck where José Ramírez Díaz and Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy remained deprived of liberty was driven from the Police Post to the facilities of the Cousiño Macul Vineyard, where the vehicle stopped and the detainees were made to get out, and were forced to walk to the banks of the San Carlos canal. It was at this site that, a few meters away, they were shot with firearms.»

In the case of Vergara and Peña, it was established that «on October 15, 1973, Luis Armando Vergara González, married, father of one child, 22 years of age, worker, without political affiliation, and whose address was located in Villa Lautaro, Block E, Site 18, Lo Hermida neighborhood of the commune of Ñuñoa, was apprehended without legal cause in its vicinity, at approximately 9:15 PM, by two Carabineros officers belonging to the 13th Los Guindos Station of Ñuñoa, who were traveling in a red pickup truck that had been illicitly requisitioned from Miriam Contreras Bell, personal secretary to the former President of the Republic Salvador Allende.

Immediately, the captors, together with the detainee, went to the home of Hernán Manuel Peña Catalán, married, father of two children, 20 years of age, who worked as a driver, without any political affiliation.

Although his home was located in Villa El Duraznal, Block 7, Site 5, Lo Hermida neighborhood of the commune of Ñuñoa, he could not be found by the police at that location. However, after a search deployed in the vicinity of his home, Peña Catalán was detained, and together with Vergara González, they were taken to the aforementioned Station.»

Former Carabineros prosecuted for case of victims illegally buried in Patio 29

The prosecuted individuals were held in preventive detention, a measure they must serve in one of the Carabineros detention centers determined by the police institution.

Visiting Judge Alejandro Solís Muñoz issued indictments in four cases of forcibly disappeared persons and political executions whose remains were found illegally buried in Patio 29 of the General Cemetery.

The magistrate prosecuted seven retired members of the Carabineros de Chile for events that occurred in October 1973 and which led to the disappearance of a 15-year-old minor and three adults—between 18 and 22 years old—in the south-eastern area of Santiago (current commune of Peñalolén).

Judge Solís prosecuted the former members of the police unit Carlos Contreras Guzmán, Bernardo Pérez Arriagada, Juan Paredes Rodríguez, Pedro Herrera Mossuto, and José Tito Alveal for the abduction of the minor Pedro Pérez Godoy and the qualified kidnapping of José Ramírez Díaz.

According to the information that exists so far in the process, “Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy, single, born on September 3, 1958, as of October 17, 1973, was 15 years, one month, and 22 days old, primary school student, without political affiliation, whose address was located at Block 10, Site 20, Villa Los Guindos of the commune of Ñuñoa, and José Adrián Ramírez Díaz, single, 20 years of age, assistant to a street market merchant, without political affiliation, illiterate, member of a family of eleven siblings, residing at Block 17, Passage 152, house 6882, Villa Pedro Lagos of the commune of Peñalolén, on October 17, 1973, were walking along a street near their homes, together with a friend, José Romilio Sepúlveda Merino. At the moment they reached the intersection of Los Orientales and Ictinos streets, Ñuñoa commune, currently Peñalolén, at approximately 3:00 PM, they were detained, without cause, nor any administrative or judicial order, by Bernardo Pérez Arriagada and Carlos Contreras Guzmán, officers belonging to the 13th Carabineros Station of Ñuñoa, who were traveling in a gray vehicle and were dressed in civilian clothes. They were taken to the premises of said Station but could not be admitted because the cells were full, for which reason they were transferred to the Quilín Police Post, a unit dependent on the 13th Station. However, in said police unit, there is no record of the entry of the victims, but there is a record of the exit of Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy, who was removed, together with José Ramírez, from the Post at 1:00 AM, during the curfew, by Carabinero Bernardo Pérez Arriagada, to a red pickup truck that was parked outside the police facility where Carabineros Juan Paredes Rodríguez and the aforementioned Contreras Torres were waiting. The latter had received the order to accompany Pérez Arriagada in this procedure from Sub-Officer Major José Tito Alveal, who in turn was under the command of Herrera Mossuto. The young men were forced to climb into the back of the pickup truck. The truck where José Ramírez Díaz and Pedro Hugo Pérez Godoy remained deprived of liberty was driven from the Post to the facilities of the Cousiño Macul Vineyard, where the vehicle stopped and the detainees were made to get out, and were forced to walk to the banks of the San Carlos canal. It was at this site that, a few meters away, they were shot with firearms, as a result of which the multiple wounds received caused their death; immediately, their bodies were thrown into the canal current, a maneuver that, according to witness Sepúlveda, had been suggested from the very moment of the detention, which had had no reason to be carried out, by Corporal Contreras: 'Let's kill them and throw them into the canal!'. Nevertheless, the remains of the victims were found illegally buried in Patio 29 of the General Cemetery and, due to the lack of accurate scientific methods of the time, could not be correctly identified in the process based in the 22nd Criminal Court; indeed, although some of the recovered bones were attributed to the young Pérez Godoy, it was finally verified with the DNA genetic method that they corresponded to another person, and regarding Ramírez Díaz, the recognition of his remains is pending. Consequently, the death of none of the detainees has been legally and reliably verified; we only know that those deprived of liberty have not made contact with their relatives, nor carried out administrative procedures before State agencies, without registering entries or exits from the country,” the ruling states.

Meanwhile, for the qualified homicides of Hernán Peña Catalán and Luis Vergara González, Judge Alejandro Solís prosecuted former police officers Juan Veloso Ortiz, Francisco Contreras Torres, and Pedro Herrera Mossuto.

Regarding this case, in the process, the magistrate has managed to determine that: “On October 15, 1973, Luis Armando Vergara González, married, father of one child, was 22 years of age, worker, without political affiliation, and his address was located in Villa Lautaro, Block E, Site 18, Lo Hermida neighborhood of the commune of Ñuñoa, when he was detained in its vicinity, at approximately 9:15 PM, since without legal cause, he was apprehended by Carabineros officers belonging to the 13th Los Guindos Station of Ñuñoa, Francisco Contreras Torres and Manuel Veloso Ortiz, who were traveling in a red pickup truck that had been illicitly requisitioned from Miriam Contreras Bell, personal secretary to former President Salvador Allende. Immediately, the captors, together with the detainee, went to the home of Hernán Manuel Peña Catalán, married, father of two children, 20 years of age, who worked as a driver, without any political affiliation. Although his home was located in Villa El Duraznal, Block 7, Site 5, Lo Hermida neighborhood of the commune of Ñuñoa, he could not be found by the police at that location. However, after a search deployed in the vicinity of his home, Peña Catalán was detained, and together with Vergara González, they were taken to the aforementioned Station.”

Both victims were definitively identified by DNA testing performed at the Legal Medical Service after 2003.

The prosecuted individuals were held in preventive detention, a measure they must serve in one of the Carabineros detention centers determined by the police institution.

Furthermore, Judge Solís determined that: “Given the significance of the statements made by Francisco Fernando Contreras Torres (on October 31, 2003, from fs. 658 to 660 of Volume II, Case File 15.607); Luis Arturo Mora Vera (fs. 880 to 881 dated April 21, 2004, Case File 15.607); Bernardo Segundo Pérez Arriagada (fs. 202 to 203 vta. dated September 9, 2003, fs. 878 to 880 of November 23, 2010, both Case File 9.731); Juan Gregorio Paredes Rodríguez (fs. 294 dated May 17, 2004, and 236 of January 5, 2004, both from Case File 9.731); Carlos Alfredo Contreras Guzmán (fs. 883 to 885 dated November 24, 2010, fs. 567 of March 7, 1980, and fs. 557 of December 10, 1979, all from Case File 9.731); Pedro Alejandro Lorenzo Mossuto (fs. 709 of November 13, 2003, fs. 881 of November 23, 2010, both from Case File 9.731), Juan Manuel Veloso Ortiz (fs. 1059 of August 18, 2006, of Case File 15.607) and the confrontation proceedings of fs. 283, 284 (without prejudice to 'exhorting them to tell the truth' in a new statement), fs. 269, fs. 304, fs. 305; 306; 329; 727 of Case File 9.731 and 839 of Case File 15.607, leave an authorized photocopy of them and keep them in a Separate File, in custody.”

Likewise, it is ordered, “Without prejudice to what has been resolved, continue the investigation regarding the repressive situation that affected Sergio Alberto Gajardo Hidalgo during the same period in which the crimes subject to this resolution were committed.”
