Representative Position : Director of the Urban Works Corporation (COU) in Los Angeles. Date of Detention : September 18, 1973

REPRESSIVE SITUATION

The brothers Juan Eladio and Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino, the latter 16 years of age, were detained on September 18, 1973, at approximately 10:30 hours at the house located at Calle Valdivia N°521 in the city of Los Angeles, a place where Juan Ulloa was a boarder.

Both brothers, accompanied by Juan's spouse, Elena Jensen Cortés, went to the boarding house with the intention of recovering clothing and other personal items, as the house had been closed by its owner a few days prior.

Upon arriving at the residence, they saw that the doors were open and entered; a few moments later, a Carabineros patrol led by Sergeant Venegas and Corporal Sergio Daguiere entered and proceeded to detain them along with two other people who were also in the house: Ivette Alvarez Moscoso, a boarder, and a man with the surname Segovia, a friend of Ivette.

The five detainees were taken to the Los Angeles Police Station, interrogated there by Captain Fabres, and sent to the Regiment on the same day, as they were informed that there were no charges against them and that they would only go for a check-up and then be released.

They were taken to the Regiment, entering at approximately 14:00 hours on September 18, and were handed over by the Carabineros Sergeant, Mr. Venegas, to the Captain, Mr. Herrera. Elena Jensen remained at the Regiment until September 21, when she was transferred to the Regional Stadium of Concepción and from there to Isla Quiriquina, a place from which she was released unconditionally on the 23rd of that month.

The last time she was able to see her husband and brother-in-law was upon entering the Regiment, where both were left in the charge of Carabineros Sergeant Miguel Beltrán and the civilian Patricio Abarzúa, officials of the SIM (Military Intelligence Service).

For his part, Mr. Segovia, who was detained at the same time, indicated that he was the only one released on the afternoon of September 18. According to information that appeared 23 days later in the newspaper "La Tribuna" of Los Angeles, the Ulloa Pino brothers were released on the same day of their detention.

According to testimony provided 17 years later by a witness who was a conscript at the Los Angeles Regiment in September 1973, the Ulloa Pino brothers remained locked up in miserable conditions in a small guardhouse within the military compound for approximately 15 days, and were subsequently taken from the place and transported to an unknown destination.

It should be noted that a former co-worker of Juan Eladio Ulloa at the Urban Works Corporation related years later that on September 12, 1973, both were returning from Concepción to Los Angeles in a Corporation vehicle when, near the Fundo Laguna Verde, they were intercepted by a group of civilians accompanied by two conscripts, who beat them violently and then forced them into a pickup truck in which they were taken in the direction of Los Angeles; shortly before arriving in this city, the vehicle was intercepted again by a pickup truck in which three civilians and two conscripts were traveling, who forced Juan Ulloa to move to that vehicle. The two detainees were taken to the Los Angeles Regiment and, a short time later, to the Iansa Gymnasium in military trucks, where they spent the night; the following day, around six in the evening, Juan Ulloa was told he would be released, while his co-worker remained detained until September 24. He never saw Juan Ulloa again after his second detention. The relatives of the detainees visited various places in order to inquire about their whereabouts: the Intendencia, the Regiment, police stations, and the Red Cross, without obtaining positive results; the answer they always received was that the two brothers had been released on the same day of their arrest. However, since that day, both remain in the status of forcibly disappeared.

JUDICIAL AND/OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS

In October 1973, the sister of Juan and Víctor Ulloa, Sonia Ulloa Pino, wrote a letter to the Director General of Investigations, Ernesto Baeza Michaelsen, telling him about the detention and disappearance of her relatives; General Baeza responded through official letter 1504 on November 29, 1973, indicating that her brothers and the other two people had been detained by Carabineros for burning "documentation that was apparently compromising, as Ivette Alvarez belongs to the Extremist Movement MIR." He added that the detainees were taken to the Police Station and then to the N°3 Los Angeles Reinforced Mountain Infantry Regiment, where, after being interrogated, the brothers and Mr. Segovia were released. On May 8, 1979, she filed an amparo appeal on behalf of her brothers, case file 4360, before the Court of Appeals of Concepción. When information regarding those affected was requested from the First Carabineros Police Station of Los Angeles, the N°17 Regiment of that city, and the Regional Intendencia of Bío-Bío, they responded that they had no records of detention or arrest warrants against them. For his part, the Minister of the Interior, Sergio Fernández Fernández, stated in official letter 1799 dated May 14, 1979, that there is no record of the detention of those affected by Security Agencies, nor has the Ministry issued any order against them; he further added that in 1977, following a request from the Vicaría de la Solidaridad to locate presumably disappeared persons, the Investigations Service carried out inquiries without positive results. On June 6, 1979, following these inquiries, the Court decided to reject the amparo, considering that the evidence gathered showed that the Ulloa Pino brothers had not been detained and that there was no arrest warrant against them. It suggested sending the records to the Criminal Court on Duty of Los Angeles for the instruction of the respective summary proceedings for the alleged disappearance of Juan Eladio and Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino. The processing of this complaint is unknown.

The remains of forcibly disappeared persons recently identified by Minister Jorge Zepeda in Santiago and the Legal Medical Service (SML), found in 1990 in Los Angeles, arrived last night in the Eighth Region and will be mourned today at the Los Cotolengos parish.

This was reported by lawyer Nelly Navarro Rojas, a plaintiff in several cases of human rights violations in the provinces of Concepción and Biobío, who specified that the funerals of three of the identified victims will be held tomorrow.

The detainees identified by Judge Zepeda are Juan Miguel Yáñez Franco, Mario Omar Belmar Soto, César Augusto Flores Baeza, and the brothers Juan Eladio and Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino, whose remains were found 14 years ago inside the Fundo La Mona, now owned by the forestry company Mininco.

The victims disappeared on September 12, 1973, after being apprehended and taken to the El Abanico Carabineros station. As indicated by lawyer Navarro, the funerals for the Ulloa brothers and Flores Baeza will be tomorrow, following a mass at the Cathedral of Los Angeles.

The former, however, will be taken to Curacautín after the religious service, while Flores Baeza will be buried in the Los Angeles General Cemetery. The remains of Yáñez Franco were sent to his family in Temuco.

Those of Belmar Soto, meanwhile, will rest at the Memorial in Santiago, as his relatives currently reside in Argentina. Lawyer Navarro maintained that there are still around 150 forcibly disappeared persons in the Eighth Region. She added that the remains found in various excavations in the region, currently under analysis at the SML in Santiago, could belong to many of them.

In 1943, Corfo created Endesa (Empresa Nacional de Electricidad S.A.), which promoted hydroelectricity so rapidly that, by the 1970s, it was already the main source of energy in Chile, and without a doubt, Chilean electrical workers fulfilled their role with enormous success.

Other public and private companies joined Endesa, managing to interconnect the system and providing secure coverage to almost the entire national territory. The government of the Unidad Popular strongly promoted the development of Endesa, leading to the commissioning of the El Toro power plant and the construction of Antuco in the Biobío region, in addition to new expansion projects.

Regarding the new social relations of production sought by the UP, the report "Identification, compilation and systematization of information concerning the effects on the energy sector of the 1973 coup d'état and the subsequent civil-military dictatorship," developed by the University of Santiago de Chile for the Undersecretariat of Energy in 2022, points out that: "In a different sphere, following the logic of public companies, the Unidad Popular had an interest in promoting and encouraging the participation of workers in the various state companies in the energy sector, which allowed different union leaders to join the boards of directors of the companies in 1972 and 1973, in addition to assuming various positions as personnel managers of the companies." With the coup d'état, this policy was absolutely dismantled. As is well known, the company was completely privatized at the end of the dictatorship, after selling off each of its subsidiaries from 1980 onwards. But the dictatorial hatred towards workers exercising power in these companies led to serious human rights violations. Thus, we count 23 forcibly disappeared persons from the energy sector. Political executions amount to 12 workers. In the following list of forcibly disappeared persons, individuals who were detained in company facilities are added: Manuel Antonio Aguilera Aguilera, no political affiliation, Los Ángeles. Manuel Jesús Arias Zúñiga, no political affiliation, Antuco. José Oscar Badilla García, no political affiliation, Antuco. Silvio Francisco Bettancourt Bahamonde, MAPU, Punta Arenas.

Jorge Manuel Parra Alarcón, Cerro Sombrero, Tierra del Fuego. Furthermore, it must be considered that Endesa constitutes one of the cases of complaints for serious crimes against humanity, concentrating these in the Los Ángeles area and with appeals filed before the Court of Appeals of Concepción.

It was not until 2004 that the bodies of the disappeared at the Fundo La Mona were identified: César Flores, Mario Belmar, Juan Ulloa, Víctor Ulloa, and Juan Yáñez. The Supreme Court, in 2014 and by a split decision, sentenced Patricio Martínez Moena to 20 years of major imprisonment, Walter Klug Rivera to 10 years, and Ismael Espinoza Silva to 5 years.

Until now, the company's responsibility in these crimes has not been investigated, whether in collaboration, denunciation, or direct participation in the crimes, nor whether it facilitated human or material resources to execute the crimes or acted as an accomplice, although there is evidence in the trials of the use of company spaces and equipment for illegal detentions and torture, as in the case of the five victims at the Pilmaiquén power plant, in the province of Osorno, and in Cerro Sombrero, Tierra del Fuego.

It is worth remembering that the corporate role, both of private individuals and of State agents appointed by the dictatorship in public companies, is one of the many pending tasks of the Chilean justice system.

Supreme Court confirms sentence for 16 disappearances and 7 murders of workers from the El Toro and El Abanico hydroelectric plants

The Supreme Court issued a final judgment in the investigation into the crimes of kidnapping and qualified homicide of 23 workers from the El Toro and El Abanico hydroelectric plants; seven of them were executed and the rest were forcibly disappeared.

In a split decision, the Second Chamber of the highest court—composed of ministers Milton Juica, Carlos Künsemüller, Haroldo Brito, Lamberto Cisternas, and Andrea Muñoz—rejected the cassation appeals filed against the sentence of the Santiago Court of Appeals that sentenced Patricio Martínez Moena to 20 years of imprisonment, without benefits; Walter Klug Rivera to 10 years and 1 day of imprisonment, without benefits; and Ismael Espinoza Silva to 5 years of imprisonment, with the benefit of supervised release.

In the civil aspect, the Criminal Chamber ratified the sentence that ordered the State to pay compensation of 50 million pesos to each of the nine relatives of the victims who were executed or disappeared in 1973, in the mountainous sector of Los Ángeles, Bío Bío Region.

Sentences that must be served for their responsibility in the homicides of: Juan Miguel Yañez Franco, César Augusto Flores Baeza, Víctor Jerez Meza, Mario Belmar Soto, Mario Samuel Olivares Pérez, Juan Eladio Ulloa Pino, and Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino.

Furthermore, the sentence includes the qualified kidnappings of: Abraham López Pinto, José Abel Coronado Astudillo, Abel José Carrasco Vargas, Alamiro Segundo Santana Figueroa, Luis Leopoldo Sepúlveda Núñez, Plutarco Coussy Benavides, Wilfredo Hernán Quiroz Pereira, Exequiel del Carmen Verdejo Verdejo, Domingo Norambuena Inostroza, Luis Eduardo Vergara Corso, Benjamín Antonio Orrego Lillo, José Óscar Badilla García, Manuel Antonio Aguilera Aguilera, Manuel Sepúlveda Cerda, Bernardo Samuel Meza Rubilar, and Manuel Jesús Arias Zúñiga.

According to the investigation by Minister Zepeda, it was determined "that in the mountainous sector, to the east of the city of Los Ángeles, are located the El Toro and El Abanico hydroelectric plants, belonging to the Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, ENDESA." "The workers of said hydroelectric plants, as of September 11, 1973, for the most part—according to Minister Zepeda's sentence—resided with their families in small rural towns in that area, forming the towns of 'Los Canelos,' 'Rayenco,' 'Polcura,' 'Antuco,' in addition to work camps for the 'El Toro' and 'El Abanico' hydroelectric plants, and further east, behind the Laguna del Laja, that of 'Cuatro Juntas,' a sector that was called 'Mallines del Sol,' belonging to the Alto Polcura canyon, named after the 'Polcura' river, which runs through the place, where the workers also spent some periods performing their usual duties." Subsequent to September 11, 1973, "upon the violent change of government due to the coup d'état of September 11, 1973, the aforementioned workers, as well as the rest of the civilian population of said towns, supporters of the previous government that was deposed on that day, in application and knowledge of a policy of the new regime and in a flagrant attack on human dignity and the notion of humanity itself, were persecuted and detained by State agents, under the pretext that the victims intended to attack detention centers to free people deprived of liberty by the military authority and/or to attack the hydroelectric plants where many of them worked," states the ruling by Minister Zepeda, ratified by the country's highest court. The final destination of these people was "their confinement or deprivation of liberty in the Regiment located in the city of Los Ángeles or in places dependent on this unit, and ultimately killed and, in other cases, forcibly disappeared to this day," the ruling states. The Supreme Court's sentence was adopted with the dissenting vote—in the criminal aspect—of Minister Lamberto Cisternas, who was in favor of accepting mitigating factors of responsibility in the case of the convicted Klug Rivera; and the dissenting opinion of Minister Muñoz, who was in favor of accepting the statute of limitations for the civil action in the case.

Minister Paola Plaza González orders the imprisonment of a retired Lieutenant Colonel convicted of kidnapping in the Endesa Episode

Retired Lieutenant Colonel Walther Klug Rivera must serve a 10-year prison sentence for his responsibility as the perpetrator of qualified kidnappings and homicides between September and November 1973.

The minister visiting human rights cases of the Santiago Court of Appeals, Paola Plaza González, ordered the entry—today, August 2, 2021—as a convicted prisoner to the corresponding prison for retired Lieutenant Colonel Walther Klug Rivera, sentenced to 10 years in prison for his responsibility as an accomplice in the so-called Endesa Episode, cases involving human rights violations.

The order for entry was carried out after a court in Italy agreed to the extradition request filed by the visiting minister Mario Carroza—then instructor of the case—for Klug Rivera to serve the sentence handed down in October 2014, which convicted Klug Rivera for his responsibility in the qualified kidnappings and qualified homicides of the victims Juan Miguel Yañez Franco, César Augusto Flores Baeza, Víctor Jerez Meza, Mario Belmar Soto, Mario Samuel Olivares Pérez, Juan Eladio Ulloa Pino, Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino, Abraham López Pinto, José Abel Coronado Astudillo, Abel José Carrasco Vargas, Alamiro Segundo Santana Figueroa, Luis Leopoldo Sepúlveda Núñez, Plutarco Coussy Benavides, Wilfredo Hernán Quiroz Pereira, Exequiel del Carmen Verdejo Verdejo, Domingo Norambuena Inostroza, Luis Eduardo Vergara Corso, Benjamín Antonio Orrego Lillo, José Óscar Badilla García, Manuel Antonio Aguilera Aguilera, Manuel Sepúlveda Cerda, Bernardo Samuel Meza Rubilar, and Manuel Jesús Arias Zúñiga, all of them linked to the El Toro and El Abanico hydroelectric plants, and detained between September and November 1973 by members of the Chilean Army.

Walther Klug, the criminal against humanity who fled to Argentina, is admitted to a Military Regiment

The Judiciary reported in the evening hours the internment in the N°1 Santiago Military Police Regiment, in the commune of Peñalolén, of Walther Klug Rivera, a criminal against humanity of the Chilean dictatorship who had fled the country attempting to evade the legal proceedings against him.

Former Colonel Klug Rivera is a well-known member of the dictatorship's repressive forces in southern Chile, and today he is wanted in two cases for human rights violations: the kidnapping and death of 21 Endesa workers in the commune of Antuco, Bío Bío Province, and the qualified kidnapping of the president of the Federation of Students of the University of Concepción, Los Ángeles branch, Luis Cornejo.

In the first case, Klug was sentenced by the Supreme Court to 10 years in prison, without benefits, for his responsibility in the homicides of: Juan Miguel Yañez Franco, César Augusto Flores Baeza, Víctor Jerez Meza, Mario Belmar Soto, Mario Samuel Olivares Pérez, Juan Eladio Ulloa Pino, and Víctor Adolfo Ulloa Pino; in addition to the qualified kidnappings of: Abraham López Pinto, José Abel Coronado Astudillo, Abel José Carrasco Vargas, Alamiro Segundo Santana Figueroa, Luis Leopoldo Sepúlveda Núñez, Plutarco Coussy Benavides, Wilfredo Hernán Quiroz Pereira, Exequiel del Carmen Verdejo Verdejo, Domingo Norambuena Inostroza, Luis Eduardo Vergara Corso, Benjamín Antonio Orrego Lillo, José Óscar Badilla García, Manuel Antonio Aguilera Aguilera, Manuel Sepúlveda Cerda, Bernardo Samuel Meza Rubilar, and Manuel Jesús Arias Zúñiga. In the second case, Klug is identified as the person responsible for the disappearance of the Topography student and president of the student center of the Los Ángeles branch of the University of Concepción, Luis Cornejo. Klug had fled to Germany in 2015, taking advantage of the leniency in the treatment of human rights violators in our country. Thus, he used his dual nationality and benefited from the European nation's difficulty in extraditing its citizens, even if they are criminals against humanity. However, in 2019 he was detained during a trip he made to Italy, the country from which he was extradited to Chile. Nevertheless, despite the gravity of the crimes committed—he is convicted by the Supreme Court—the criminal against humanity was not imprisoned and fled again, this time to Argentina, from where he was expelled to our country. Klug did not comply with the precautionary measures ordered by Minister Carlos Aldana—who did not order his detention despite the existence of this background information—for the other case for which he is being prosecuted: the qualified kidnapping of Luis Cornejo. The visiting minister of the Santiago Court of Appeals, Paola Plaza, indicated that Walther Klug Rivera will serve a 10-day quarantine period at the N°1 Santiago Military Police Regiment to then review his procedural situation.

Five disappeared persons identified

The special judge Jorge Zepeda established the identification of the remains belonging to five people who had been forcibly disappeared from the Los Angeles Mountain Infantry Regiment in the days following the military coup.

After subjecting remains found in 1990 at the Fundo La Mona, near Los Angeles, to DNA testing, the judge determined that they correspond to César Flores Baeza, Mario Belmar Soto, Juan Ulloa Pino, Juan Yáñez Franco, and Víctor Ulloa Pino, the latter only 16 years old at the time of his detention.

César Flores, who was an official of the Agrarian Reform Corporation, is the uncle of the La Nación journalist Domingo Luis Narváez. The resolution determined that the bodies of these people were buried clandestinely after they were killed, and their remains were later exhumed after 1978 in what became known as "Operation Television Removal." The small fragments found in 1990 correspond to those that remained at the burial site after the exhumations following 1978. "Operation Television Removal" was the name the dictatorship gave to the removal of bodies starting in late 1978, after the bodies of 15 murdered peasants were discovered in Lonquén. This operation was confirmed by a cryptogram sent by General Augusto Pinochet to the regiments, a document witnessed by an intelligence non-commissioned officer who deciphered it and who declared as much this year to Judge Juan Guzmán.

MINVU pays tribute to thirty officials who were forcibly disappeared and political executions during the dictatorship

As an act of institutional memory recovery, reparation, and healing, the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism installed a plaque in memory of the officials who were murdered starting on September 11, 1973, and presented a recognition to their relatives. "We take up the generational relay, History will continue with us, and today we break the institutional silence of 50 years," with these words, Maricarmen Tapia, head of the Center for City and Territory Studies, began the tribute to the thirty officials of the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism who were forcibly disappeared and political executions during the civil-military dictatorship, within the framework of the actions promoted by the Government 50 years after the coup d'état. Minister Carlos Montes expressed that "ceremonies of this same nature are being held at La Moneda and in various ministries and public offices throughout the country. It was President Gabriel Boric who wanted the expression of the services and also of other organizations to emerge in different ways. Today we had a moment of affection, respect, and consideration, with the pride of saying that the Ministry of Housing is capable of thinking about History to project it into the future." In this regard, Maricarmen Tapia detailed the relevance of the process of preparing this ceremony and the other activities that the Center for Studies and the Center for Training, Dialogue, and Participation organized, and the sense of institutional healing that they wanted to give it. "History is not, if it is not told. And History requires our commitment to human rights, truth, justice, and reparation. There is a History that wants to be told and that requires spaces like this, time, and ears. Knowledge frees us and gives us power and, in this case, a power of understanding, of recovering meaning, of explaining the present. Knowledge also allows us healing, and that neither sadness nor violence prevents us from gathering this History and the values and ideals that sustained it," affirmed the head of the Center for Studies. The act was attended by relatives of the honored officials, who expressed their emotion and gratitude for the institutional recognition. "I am the daughter of Mr. Víctor Hugo Morales Mazuela, head of the emergency office of CORHABIT in 1973. Detained, kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by the dictatorship. I want to greet the minister, because 50 years had to pass for this to happen. On behalf of the relatives, political executions, and forcibly disappeared, I want to give him my gratitude and emotion for this attitude," expressed Olga Morales at the end of the ceremony. Marlene Galdames, president of the Association of Officials of the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism (AFUMINVU), joined the expressions of awe and stressed that it is an act of justice and recovery of institutional memory. "We especially want to greet the relatives of the colleagues who are no longer with us, who 50 years ago walked out that door and were never seen again. We cannot imagine what it means for you to be here today (...) We as a ministry have a debt to you. We cannot forget those who were part of this ministry, that is why we are here," the leader maintained. The commemorative plaque with the names of the thirty officials of MINVU and SERVIU was installed on the first floor of the institutional building, as a permanent exercise of memory and recognition of those who gave their lives for the dream of a fairer and more dignified country for all. Among those present were those who collaborated in the research and preparation process for the MINVU commemoration activities, including Miguel Lawner, 2019 National Architecture Prize winner and former director of CORMU; Alfredo Rodríguez, researcher; Lilia Santos, in charge of recreation at Parque O’ Higgins; and dozens of officials from MINVU, SERVIU, and the Seremi. In addition, the ceremony was accompanied by an artistic installation of structures formed by kites, made by Arte Volantines. On one of them, it reads "Do not forget me," and on its back, one can see the faces of the thirty officials executed and disappeared during the civil-military dictatorship. Two other installations recall a poster by Vicente Larrea, which he made within the framework of the 1972 student volunteer work, and the seal of the 50th Anniversary Commemoration. The solemn act also featured the artistic intervention of Daniela Contreras and Nelson Arriagada, who performed the choreography Anhelo (Yearning).

List of forcibly disappeared and political executions

The following list was built thanks to a systematized and semi-automated review of the database of forcibly disappeared and political executions of the Museum of Memory and Human Rights; the report of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation; the report of the National Commission for Reparation and Reconciliation; the report of the Advisory Commission for the Qualification of Forcibly Disappeared and Political Executions and Victims of Political Imprisonment and Torture; and administrative information from the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism.

The foregoing allowed for a double verification of the information in most cases.
