(ANSA) – BUENOS AIRES, 02 JUL – Miguel Etchecolatz, former commander of the Buenos Aires police and right-hand man of General Ramón Camps during the last dictatorship, died today in Buenos Aires at the age of 93.
Born in Azul on May 1, 1929, Etchecolatz was convicted in various trials starting in 1986 for multiple crimes involving disappearances, illegal arrests and torture committed in the years (1976-1983) in which the military was in power in Argentina. the last of these sentences, for the eighth time in ergatolo, was signed by a La Plata judge on May 13 and concerned torture and violence suffered by seven people between October and November 1976.
It must be remembered that the name of Etchecolatz was also associated in recent years with that of the first ‘disappeared in democracy’, the carpenter Jorge Julio López.
The latter had testified against him in a trial, and in 2006 he disappeared into thin air days before presenting himself to a hearing in which he would have to repeat the accusations against the right arm of General Camps. (HANDLE).
