The San Miguel Court of Appeals sentenced seven agents of the so-called Comando Conjunto for their responsibility in the crimes of illicit association and the aggravated kidnapping of Ulises Merino Varas. These crimes were perpetrated starting in February 1976, in the commune of La Granja.

In a unanimous ruling (case file 3.724-2020), the Second Chamber of the appellate court—composed of judges Claudia Lazen Manzur, Patricia Salas Sáez, and ad hoc lawyer Ignacio Castillo Val—ratified the challenged sentence, issued by the extraordinary visiting judge Marianela Cifuentes Alarcón, which sentenced Antonio Benedicto Quirós Reyes and Juan Francisco Saavedra Loyola to effective prison terms of 10 years and 5 years and one day, respectively, as perpetrators of the crimes of aggravated kidnapping and illicit association.

Meanwhile, former agents Daniel Luis Guimpert Corvalán and Manuel Agustín Muñoz Gamboa must serve effective prison terms of 8 years and 5 years and one day as perpetrators of aggravated kidnapping and illicit association.

In the case of Francisco Segundo Illanes Miranda and Ernesto Arturo Lobos Gálvez, they were sentenced to 6 years and 541 days in prison as perpetrators of the crimes of aggravated kidnapping and illicit association, respectively.

Finally, Alejandro Segundo Sáez Mardones must serve 6 years in prison for the crime of aggravated kidnapping.

"That the participation of the accused, as perpetrators of the crime of aggravated kidnapping, under the terms provided in numeral 3 of Article 15 of the Penal Code, has been established in the nineteenth to forty-second foundations of the appealed sentence, based on: a) the testimony of the accused themselves, who, although they denied their participation in the events of the case sub judice, acknowledged, in some cases with nuances, their participation in the so-called 'Comando Conjunto'; b) the testimonial and documentary evidence of the proceedings, especially that which is recorded in the ninth to eleventh considerations of the appealed sentence," the ruling states.

The resolution adds: "That regarding the aggravating circumstances of criminal liability alleged at the time, those of numerals 6, 8, and 11 of Article 12 of the Penal Code, which were rejected by the lower court judge, this Court shares the grounds put forward to do so, as explained in the eighty-first to eighty-third considerations."

"Likewise, the eighty-fourth foundation is shared, in its letters a) through h) regarding the penalty to be imposed on the defendants, considering the nature of the illicit act—a crime against humanity—and the extent of the harm caused; the same being proportional in light of what is provided in Article 69 of the Penal Code.

On the other hand, the differentiation of the penalty is founded and justified by the various hierarchical degrees and responsibilities held by those who participated in the illicit act in question," it adds.

In civil matters, the ruling that upheld the claims for compensation for damages filed and ordered the state to pay the total sum of $180,000,000 (one hundred and eighty million pesos) for moral damages to the victims' relatives was confirmed.

In the first-instance resolution that was ratified, Judge Cifuentes Alarcón established the following facts:

"1st That, at the time of the events, there existed a hierarchical, disciplined organization with a military structure called the 'Comando Conjunto,' composed of individuals belonging to the intelligence agencies of the Air Force, Carabineros, and Navy, that is, the Air Force Intelligence Directorate (DIFA), the Carabineros Intelligence Directorate (DICAR), and the Naval Intelligence Service (SIN), which, under the command of Air Brigadier General Freddy Enrique Ruiz Bunger and Commanders Antonio Benedicto Quirós Reyes and Juan Francisco Saavedra Loyola, had, among others, the mission of dismantling the Communist Party and its Youth."

"2nd That this group had its headquarters in the building located at Calle Juan Antonio Ríos No. 6 in the commune of Santiago, called 'JAR-6,' and used as detention and torture centers the facilities 'Remo Cero,' located at the Colina Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment; 'La Firma,' located on Calle Dieciocho opposite No. 229 in the commune of Santiago; the 'Casa de Solteros,' located at Calle Bellavista No. 125 in the commune of Providencia; and the 24th Carabineros Precinct, located at Calle Las Tranqueras No. 840 in the commune of Las Condes."

"3rd That on February 2, 1976, around 14:30 hours, Ulises Merino Varas, a leader of the Communist Youth, was illegally detained by agents of the 'Comando Conjunto' in the vicinity of the La Granja Municipality."

"4th That, subsequently, Ulises Merino Varas was deprived of liberty at 'Remo Cero,' 'La Firma,' the 24th Carabineros Precinct of Las Condes, and the 'Casa de Solteros'."

"5th That, at the end of April 1976, Merino Varas was transferred again to 'La Firma,' with his whereabouts unknown since that date."

Supreme Court confirms sentence of former Comando Conjunto members for the 1976 crime of a municipal worker in La Granja

The Supreme Court rejected the appeals for cassation on the merits filed by the defenses against the sentence that sentenced members of the repressive organization known as Comando Conjunto for their responsibility in the consummated crime of aggravated kidnapping of municipal employee Ulises Jorge Merino Varas, perpetrated starting on February 2, 1976, in the commune of La Granja.

Ulises Merino Varas, 33 years old, married, one child, was a militant of the Communist Party and worked as an inspector in the Traffic Directorate of the La Granja municipality. On February 2, 1976, around 14:30 hours, he was detained by repressive agents of the Comando Conjunto in the vicinity of the aforementioned municipality.

Then, the detainee was taken to the detention and torture centers of this organization known as 'Remo Cero,' 'La Firma,' the 24th Carabineros Precinct of Las Condes, and the 'Casa de Solteros.' At the end of April 1976, Merino Varas was transferred again to 'La Firma,' with his whereabouts unknown since that date.

In a unanimous ruling (case file 3.989-2022), the Second Chamber of the highest court—composed of judge Manuel Antonio Valderrama, judges María Teresa Letelier, María Cristina Gajardo, and ad hoc lawyers Leonor Etcheberry and Andrea Ruiz—confirmed the sentence that sentenced Juan Francisco Saavedra Loyola to 10 years in prison; Daniel Luis Enrique Guimpert Corvalán and Manuel Agustín Muñoz Gamboa to 8 years in prison; and Francisco Segundo Illanes Miranda, Ernesto Lobos Gálvez, and Alejandro Segundo Sáez Mardones to 6 years of effective prison, as perpetrators of the crime.

Other implicated persons, some prosecuted and sentenced, died during the course of the proceedings.

In the resolution, the Penal Chamber invalidated the challenged sentence ex officio and, in a replacement sentence, revoked it in the part that sentenced Saavedra Loyola, Guimpert Corvalán, Muñoz Gamboa, Illanes Miranda, Lobos Gálvez, and Sáez Mardones as perpetrators of the crime of illicit association.

Comando Conjunto

The so-called Comando Conjunto was a military intelligence group, hierarchical and disciplined, conceived by the Air Force commands as a way to maintain the dispute with the DINA for the monopoly and authorship of the repressive actions intended to destroy left-wing organizations and resistance to the dictatorship.

Since the military coup at the end of 1974, this dispute with the DINA was represented by the Air Force Intelligence Service (SIFA) and its criminal actions at the Air War Academy (AGA), which was converted into a detention and torture barracks for political prisoners.

Later, the FACH invented this Comando Conjunto that operated between 1975 and 1976, composed of agents belonging to the intelligence groups of the Air Force, Carabineros, Navy, and Army, plus civilian individuals coming from the fascist far-right.

The main objective of this entity was the repression of the Communist Youth and the Communist Party, for which they proceeded to detain people linked to said party, who were kidnapped, interrogated, and tortured physically and psychologically to obtain information.

Subsequently, the detained persons could be released, or transferred to some prisoner concentration camp, or transferred to an unknown destination to be forcibly disappeared, or murdered.

At the time of the events, the repressive entity operated under the command of Air Brigadier General Freddy Enrique Ruiz Bunger and Commanders Antonio Benedicto Quirós Reyes (both deceased), and Juan Francisco Saavedra Loyola, and had, among others, the mission of dismantling the Communist Party and its Youth.

For the commission of its crimes, this repressive apparatus had its headquarters in the building located at Calle Juan Antonio Ríos No. 6 in the commune of Santiago, called 'JAR-6,' and used as detention and torture centers the facilities 'Remo Cero,' located at the Colina Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment with the name 'Cárcel La Prevención'; 'La Firma,' located on Calle Dieciocho opposite No. 229 in the commune of Santiago, which corresponded to the place where the former newspaper El Clarín operated, which Carabineros seized, calling it La Firma, until the end of 1976.

To these are added the 'Casa de Solteros,' located at Calle Bellavista No. 125 in the commune of Providencia, and the 24th Carabineros Precinct, located at Calle Las Tranqueras No. 840 in the commune of Las Condes; the Casa de Apoquindo, the Hangar at the Cerrillos Airport, Nido 18, and Nido 20, which were properties that had been seized from militants of persecuted political parties.
