s) Sworn statement by Egon Antonio Barra Barra on page 264, who states that he remembers perfectly that one dawn in 1981, he was driving a gray Mazda 323 automobile belonging to the CNI along Av. Vicuña Mackenna, accompanied by Carabineros Sub-officer Reinaldo Rodríguez, nicknamed “el Papito,” who was the head of his team, and also a civilian employee nicknamed “El Guataca.” The fact is that while they were patrolling that sector, they heard several radio calls, immediately recognizing the voice of Álvaro Corbalán Castilla, who was reporting on a confrontation that had occurred in the vicinity of a Cabinet Minister’s house on the road to Las Vizcachas, asking the Sub-officer if they should go to provide support, to which he replied no, “since it was just to get into trouble.” Furthermore, according to what he remembers, the calls were to communicate what had happened and were not requesting support. Within the unit, the event did not receive much comment, except that it was an operation that had been handled at the officer level.
