48) Report No. 180 of the National Headquarters for Human Rights Crimes of the Investigative Police (884 to 894), which states that in 1981 the “Agrupación Café” (Café Group) was tasked with investigating the Izquierda Cristiana (Christian Left) and was under the command of Captain Alejandro Morel Concha, reporting to the Anti-Subversive Brigade under the command of Major Álvaro Corbalán Castilla who, in turn, reported to the Metropolitan Intelligence Division, led by Colonel Roberto Schmied Sanzi.

It is added that it has been established that the “Café” group in 1981 was composed of Army Captain Alejandro Morel Concha, using the operational name “Patricio Medina Novoa”; Carabineros Sergeant Major Galleguillos; Army Sergeant Juan Jorquera Abarzúa, using the operational name “Manuel Vega”; Carabineros Sergeant Solís; Army Corporal Héctor Obal Labrín; a Navy official with the operational name “Marcela,” who could correspond to Clodomira Reyes Díaz or Zinaida Vicencio González; and the Army civilian employee Sergio Díaz Lara, using the operational name “Felipe Villaseca Rodríguez,” nicknamed “Pájaro loco” (Woody Woodpecker). It is added that as a result of the Izquierda Cristiana and MAPU Lautaro parties beginning to grow and expand their political structures, the CNI high command designated for this purpose civilian employees who were members of the Anti-Subversive Brigade, coming from different groups, these being: “El Punta,” named Juan Vergara Gutiérrez; “El Fosforito,” named Oscar Pérez Sepúlveda; “El Palomo,” named Aquiles Poblete Palominos; “El Jote,” named Roberto Rodríguez Manquel; and “Café Café” or “Chocolate.” It concludes: “Sergio Díaz Lara, in his police statement, admits to having detained Sergio Aguiló Melo, together with the civilian employee nicknamed ‘Café Café’ or ‘Chocolate,’ while they were traveling in a CNI vehicle along the Alameda heading west and, by chance, spotted the victim of the case on board a taxi. He further adds that he was subsequently transferred to the Borgoño barracks where he was interrogated without torture or physical duress. Therefore, it is presumed that all members of the ‘Café’ group could have had knowledge of the victim's detention and, necessarily, of his confinement at the Borgoño barracks, since their mission was to investigate the leaders and members of the Izquierda Cristiana party.”
