Speech at the General Assembly - Enrique Erro - 1972
Erro: (...) I have a moral duty to my country and this House. Said at the beginning of it, when the fellow legislator Mr. Terra said it had received a certain material, we sent many legislators, even I could see some of them to cassettes in their pockets, there are few, but I have nothing give their names, "he was going to read. Terra Thursday, February 12, 2009
Read Nightmare Inspector Scans
Mr. legislature made a last attempt against the General Assembly, and did as he is, with complete sincerity, not wanting to prevent this decision, because even though we were 15 days here, we are politicians and we know that there is a Most of the Colorado and This country to vote, really, I think it can be very unfortunate for the country's future. Terra
Mr. legislature insisted on his approach and did not understand. Still had to endure miserable expressions of some gentlemen legislators against him attitudes he never had. He wanted to do good to the country through his motion, and is not understood. That is, there is always the policy of not talking, not understanding, to reject, to take advantage of the majority to give a blow to the good intentions of fellow wide front.
So we can not end our discussion without us, that like many colleagues, receive the same material, we give reading.
(...) Mr Chairman, we will announce this document that came to parliament. The parliament will hear the reading of the document that many have received, which some denied authenticity-that-be to investigate, but I think it is the tape, the voice is of the same person, it also makes serious allegations, because this must enroll in fact what we're experiencing today.
This "Death Squad" and these men with high positions in certain sectors of the order of society, or they would have to comply with the order of society, give reason to when we raise our voices so often, and many thought that we did it who knows with what intent.
No, Mr. President: we did with the sole purpose of contributing, at the end of the day, the great peace in the country, because without it there will be no progress or change or anything.
That was the intention, and no other. No one may award other than those emanating from our words and our attitude.
The document reads: "I (and here I have to give a name because there has been public, like a person in custody), Nelson Bardesio, oriental, married, aged 31, Interior Ministry official state to the People's Court my participation in facts known in connection with terrorist attacks. Since December 1970, following orders from my superiors in the Ministry of Interior, participated in the attacks outlined below:
1) against the home of Dr. Arturo Dubra. I ran it together (I make an exception: I will not read the names and just what I do in the event that the name belongs to a person who fell in this fight, I'll avoid all the others because I understand that location will give the names, then yes, in the Senate, where on Tuesday, in an important debate, of course, is sure to vote unanimously for this to be clarified to order-and I'm sure to reassure the Minister of Interior an investigation of this type, "the appointment of a commission of inquiry which, I repeat, give all names are taken due statements) with the sea captain Ernesto Motto Benvenuto, working for the M-2, Navy Intelligence, and is the official liaison between the Naval Staff and the Chief of Police. We were in a car that drove Headquarters. We walked along the promenade, and parked the car by Iturriaga, about 40 or 50 meters from the house Dubra. We got out and I went to the house, placing the bomb in a planter and having a long wick to give us time to leave the area, as there are armed guards an embassy which is located in front of the house. Once lit the fuse, which I quickly walked to be out of sight of the guard at the embassy, \u200b\u200band then ran to the car, leaving the area immediately.
2) against the home of Dr. Maria Esther Gilio. We use two cars, provided by the Chief. In one (...) and I would go with the other, custody, traveled such, such and such. We entered Alps, and parked at the height of Golfarini and Basanez. I got out, I came to the house and threw the bomb into the garden, returning both quickly and vehicles leaving the area.
3) against the home of Dr. Artucio. We use a car provided by the Chief. With it up at (...) on October 8 and Commerce, where we got to the area, giving a couple of laps. We went through the car about 20 yards from the house. I got out and threw the bomb into the garden, leaving the area immediately. I left on October 8 (...) and (...) I took her home. Later I left the car in Canelones Ibicuy corner and I retired, telling Radio Bureau Chief where was the car.
4) Again on the home of Dr. Artucio. Head used a car that picked up on the street Canelones together with (do not give the names). Then we look at the Plaza del Viejo Pancho (Brazil Avenue and Boulevard Artigas) the arrival (...), chief curator of (...). Came somewhat late in a car driven by Inspector (...). Chief's car driven (...) now headed for the area, where we took several laps to make sure that there is no oversight or policing.
I want to make a brief digression. Requesting that the stenographers take full version because sometimes they ask for the document and I understand that I can not submit this document to the court reporters, because in spite of his immense honesty believe that this can not go out of my hands, despite knowing that there are other colleagues who have it, although I know they're going to handle the same discretion as me. made this record, I continue.
"We parked the car at the corner of the house, dropping me with (...) custody. Gelinita put one loaf in the garage door and returned to the car, leaving the area.
5) against the home of Liberoff doctor. We had information that the house was guarded, so a couple of days before I sent a remark, not noticing anything unusual. I performed the operation with a car (...) Headquarters then I kept in my possession (do not say the car because it is tuition, but is said to be fictitious).
spent a couple of times on the site without registering anything unusual. But I pointed to the entreparara barely (...) car throw the device (half a loaf of gelinita) to the garden near the garage door. We left the area without problems.
6) against the home of Dr. Dawn Dell'Acqua. The attack was ordered and scored, but was not carried out, because I felt that the car provided by Headquarters (to which I referred to earlier) was not in good mechanical condition. On being informed of this, the Minister of Interior ordered the police chief to resolve the difficulty, but for unknown reasons, the order was not timely served. These attacks were ordered me by Colonel ... (Do not say otherwise) directly or through official inspector (...). The order came of (...), then replaced by (I can say here, because it is one of the dead) Armando Acosta y Lara, was aware of inspector (retired) director (...), (...), where I worked. So and so, so and so and were part of a monitoring group initially trained by me in the period occupied such position Fulano. This group received additional training course in Buenos Aires, given at the State Information Service (SIDE). The gelinita used in the attacks on me personally was given by Captain Buenos Aires (Argentina is a captain, but I will not give either the name), chief of the Side, whom I contacted at the suggestion of Secretary (...) The day and time that these attacks were carried out under my decision and must be previously communicated to (...), for the latter to the suspension of police patrols in the area concerned, in order to avoid a meeting between ourselves. In conversations at the Naval Club, I also know that groups composed of military elements have been attacks of this nature. (...) The captain commanded one of these groups, comprising people from the Defense Information Service (SID). Its "operational noisy" were discussed daily in the Naval Club luncheons. (...) The captain had organized a terrorist group in turn integrated by his subordinates. The same was said that his group had carried out several operations without encountering difficulties such as the shooting at the home of Dr. Gilio. The captain (I can not add anything else), so that his terrorist group must have been inherited by (...) who replaced him in that position. (...) On the advice of the Police Department arranged for groups of the Republican Guard legends painted on the homes of militants tupamaros prisoners and others. I declare that the foregoing is a true account of the facts, and admit my participation in them and therefore responsibility, for the record which he signed. Nelson Bardesio "
The second document states:
" I, Bardesio Nelson, Eastern, married, aged 31, Interior Ministry official, testified before the People's Court my participation and all I know about the penetration of agents and foreign bodies in the repressive forces Uruguay: Join the police Montevideo on 15 August 1963, after the course of operational preparedness. I spent the Surveillance Research Department, Homicide Section. In the last months of the year 64 I went on to serve on the Research Assistantship. In 1966, after elections in which the general was elected president Oscar gesture, a friend Headquarters (remove your name), I proposed to prepare together a project to create a police intelligence directorate, which would be nationwide. (...) Was a close friend's wife's gesture, and because of that connection, he had been aware of the purpose of the new government to create the address. Prepare the project, had further discussions with (...) (...) and (...), and after some formalities we contacted Colonel Chief (..., such a thing). In March or April 67, the colonel that put us in touch with William Cantrell, U.S. adviser to the Office of Technical Assistance depended on the U.S. Agency for International Development, USAID, the United States. Although our project did not progress, drug as U.S. advisers had established their own guidelines for the creation of the new address. So and I were incorporated into the original core staff would be part of the Directorate of Intelligence. John Doe was responsible for student activities, and I went to take care of administrative responsibility, what is the local 18 and Paullier Intelligence, working with Cantrell, because through him the necessary material was obtained for the premises of the offices and laboratories fotrográficos radio, which ended after I joined. I guess that Cantrell was a CIA officer. He moved with great independence, even in the technical office AID, whose head was then a very intrusive, however, not interfered at all in what Cantrell was not in the Directorate of Intelligence. Cantrell also worked with equity. The Directorate of Information and Intelligence was organized with funding from the leadership and the U.S. embassy. If it was to refurbish the building, in masonry, painting or anything of those, the funds are provided headquarters. If it was for technical equipment, typewriters or otherwise, provided Cantrell. These funds came from USAID but directly from the embassy, \u200b\u200band that the AID does not provide funds, but financed acquisitions and then you have to pay such acquisitions. Besides my work in the lab, I served as his chauffeur in a jeep Cantrell embassy that was used by the Directorate of Intelligence. I was going to get his house in the morning and take it to the Directorate of Intelligence, or the Chief, or the embassy. If you wore to the Directorate of Intelligence, around noon was to take to the embassy. In any case at 5 ½ to 6 pm, picked it up at the embassy and took him home, staying with the car at night. Once a week I had to (...), leaving there because he went later in his wife's car. Directorate Information and Intelligence began to organize in November and December 1966. For my work in the photo lab (...), I depended on the deputy who was, at the same time responsible for processing all the material collected and simultaneously responsible for recruiting and training. All that work is handed back daily at the U.S. embassy, \u200b\u200bbeing Fulano contact with her. I do not know exactly when it started to go back to the embassy information, but such was already established before my admission to the police, and was made with full knowledge of the police chief and interior minister. At the level of the hierarchy performed Cantrell contacts openly, visiting in his office so and so and so. After it was Cantrell, John Doe and John Doe made contacts with the embassy in the Victoria Plaza, which regularly had lunch with an American official who simply called Roberto. These contacts must be made by the inspector now so, who is probably the only one who knows the contact intelligence official and the U.S. embassy. As I said, when I worked in LII organic contact with the embassy kept him John Doe. If this license or disease, who was replaced as deputy commissioner, who must be currently in charge of intelligence file and contact the embassy since the guy he moved with his family to (...) at the end of 1971, after the second attack was aimed at their house. Fulano Cantrell received money for some special work. This explains why he left, a few months in the Intelligence Division, which had a particular job in an office business reporting. I received no extra payment Cantrell, but more of an opportunity he offered me to borrow money, which I accepted when I had a problem in the small box I was driving in (...). At that time I borrowed Cantrell eleven thousand pesos. Mail to the embassy was and is in charge of the sergeant so, who used to this task a black jeep in which commutes between the DII and the U.S. embassy in such time that hour, accompanied by a driver and a custodian. Is sent to the embassy copy of all parties and the information processed at headquarters. For its part, the Embassy regularly asks for copies of certain information to use, especially recordings of telephone taps. (...) In addition to Cantrell and other officials met U.S. advisers. Fulano, embassy official and friend of Cantrell, disappeared immediately after it was discovered Pocitos switchboard, from where they intercepted the phone at the Soviet Embassy. The discovery of the unit was very nervous Americans, the same Cantrell pleaded to be released from detention the English couple contained as an occupant of the house of the street where it was installed Ellauri interception equipment. John Doe was an adviser to the office of USAID technical assistance. Although that was not in office, I know that guy, at the request of the master such as chief, gave a course of instruction shot several members of (...). As I stated before the Court of the People, guy had formed a group with trusted subordinates to carry out attacks. John Doe was the substitute guy. Handled the administrative work of the Office of Technical Assistance and to organize regional courses for police the interior. Was an American of Mexican descent. Head used a Maverick, and I saw often conversing with the colonel that he was just after he was named such. Dan Anthony Mitrione I was introduced as the successor of such. I saw very few times, it was not met as regularly as such Headquarters, on those occasions only change greetings or some inconsequential comments. About current U.S. advisers, only know the name of one, as I have understood that guy replaced. I also met a U.S. technician in photography, whose name escapes me, who taught me to load and unload a camera brought by the embassy and installed at Carrasco Airport, to photograph the passports of passengers entering the country. I have understood that the mechanism of this machine is considered in the United States military secret. Even after leaving the photo lab of the DII and move to the secretariat of guy, I continued by going to Carrasco weekly to remove the film and reload the camera, because there was another who could do it. In mid-1970, I went to the Ministry of Interior to participate in the organization of an information group reporting directly to the ministry. I was assigned a group of 5 men to give them training and surveillance equipment. These 5 officers were three police from this, and others, so and so and so, as selected. After that I will provide basic instruction, it was decided to send them to Buenos Aires to receive a complementary course of development. In early 1971, following explicit instructions of guy, I traveled to Buenos Aires carrying personal forms of the 5 staff to fine-tune the course. I met with the captain as the State Information Service (SIDE) of Argentina. It received the forms and handed me a package containing three sticks of gelignite, to hand them over to the Ministry of Interior. The secretary told me that that would be delivered SIDE me a package, I had not indicated how it was, what I was explained by this. As I learned later, the gelinita should be used in an attack on the largest Pablo Vicente, Argentina based for several years in Montevideo, in exchange for which the SIDE dictate the course at 5 Uruguayan officials. The attack was not carried out more Vicente suppose that such indecision, but gelinita was then used in attacks against the doctor and the doctor Liberoff Artucio, on which I have already testified before the People's Court. The 5 staff members were responsible for the SIDE, which included: photography, surveillance, wiretapping, locksmithing and counter-terrorism activities. By changing that, Col. entering such, and place so, it rejected the idea of \u200b\u200bcreating an information service, and team officials in my office except low fellow who requested, were sent to their homes leaving the order and later participated in the attacks and referred to court . I have knowledge that a high-level Brazilian mission visited Montevideo, interviewing the police chief, Colonel and director as such, with the aim of strengthening relations between the Brazilian and Uruguayan police. The Brazilian mission even offered to install a direct radio communications equipment between Brazil and Montevideo. I do not know if this project came to fruition. As undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior Armando Acosta y Lara, this was called the sheriff's office and there he was instructed to contact the Brazilian Embassy in Montevideo. This was said by itself. As a result of such contacts, at least two such officials traveled to Brazil to receive training style squad. " On his return these officials brought 10 caliber revolvers 38, which were delivered to the JUP through the Ministry of Interior. The two officers in question, whose names I forget, went to Paraguay such orders, adviser and confidant of Secretary Acosta y Lara. A guy orders, together with the Deputy Commissioner that (which is one of the dead) the officer may and the inspector such as captain, the member of the JUP such, and I, those officials involved in the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Héctor da Rosa Castagnetto. I declare that the foregoing is a true account of the facts and admit my participation in them, and therefore responsibility, for the record which he signed ".
" I, Nelson Bardesio, oriental, married 31 years, official Ministry of the Interior, testified before the People's Court made my participation and I know in relation to the establishment and operation of paramilitary groups:
a) In mid-1971, I appeared before the ministry's military aide, Colonel (PAM) XX belonging to the FAU, accompanied by two people who introduced me. One was XX, and Paraguayan national who was called "Doctor." XX told me that, in order of Acosta y Lara, XX would make some "special operations" and therefore should give all assistance as requested. The other person was a bearded young man who was called "Joseph" to which later recognized as XX, which according to a comment raised in the ministry integrates the JUP. XX named him several times as his top aide. "
b) A few days later a meeting was held in the Statistical Office, Comptroller and Dissemination (which served as a cover for planning attacks on which I stated before the Court of the People) which operates under the direction of inspector (retired) XX, with the participation, besides this, the officer XX inspector (who works in that office), XX and myself. Discussed the need to confront the MLN. XX was in favor of carrying out what he called "psychological violent action." I disagreed with him because I thought that we would be more beneficial to develop an information service, to which it replied that those were "impossible dreams". "
c) On another occasion I asked for the key XX of XX photography studio (which I rented ) to perform there compartmentalized meeting. XX well attended, the head of D. 5 XX commissioner, the head of D. 6, XX commissioner, an official of the confidence he called XX (currently on trial for the case of Dr. XX) and XX. A I was not allowed to attend the meeting, bringing me after the arrival of the nominees, so I do not know if anyone else attended. There he completed the formation of the Death Squad. "
d) I have knowledge that as a result of contacts made with the commissioner XX Brazilian embassy by order of Secretary Acosta y Lara, at least two officials from the D-4 were sent to Brazil to receive training squad style death, which brought 10 guns XX marks, short pipe, which were provided to XX, through the Ministry of Interior for use by the JUP. After returning from Brazil, said officials were under the command of XX, passing, after this sudden trip to Brazil, the D-1. Most of the officials of these departments are linked to the activities of paramilitary command. "
e) These same officials participated with the Deputy Commissioner (deputy head of the D-5), XX, XX, XX inspector officer, Captain XX and I in the kidnapping and murder of Héctor Castagnetto, whose story is detailed in another report. After this operation, the Araucana Street house, where retained to Castagnetto, was evacuated and I took six 45-caliber machine guns, with the brand and the number filed down, several loaves of explosives wrapped on graph paper with the initials CST and two packages whose contents do not know, and is kept in the study XX. This material I gave at the Ministry of Internal Affairs Captain XX, to be passed to the SID, in early February 1972. "
f) To appear in the press the news of the murder of Ramos Filippini, the officer told me inspector XX That was the work of twentieth and its people. "
g) The kidnapping was the work of Dr. XX XX commissioner and attended by officials from his department XX XX XX XX XX civilians. This operation was devised by XX in order to stay with the ransom money. "
h) The inspector XX, director of the DII was aware of the activities of these groups."
i) The DAM was created by the XX general, and its leaflets printed in the Office of Civil Defense. Then, the name of DAM was taken by task forces of the navy. "
" I declare that the foregoing is a true account of the facts and admit my participation in them and therefore responsibility, for the record which he signed. Nelson Bardesio. March 1972. "
And the last document, said:
" I Bardesio Nelson, Eastern, married, aged 31, Interior Ministry official, testified before the People's Court and my participation events I know in connection with the kidnapping and subsequent murder of Héctor da Rosa Castagnetto:
found in the office of Statistics, Comptroller and Broadcasting Ministry of the Interior, the officer requested my participation XX inspector for an operation. The Bureau of Statistics, Comptroller and Broadcasting, whose director was the inspector fee (R) XX, served as a cover for planning and executing attacks to which I have already given evidence before the Court of the People. The official inspector was secretary of Colonel XX XX (Neighbourhood registrar), and officiating as a liaison between the Ministry of Interior and the Command called Hunting Tupamaros (CST). As I said the Deputy Commissioner XX, 5 Department of Information and Intelligence Division, had requested their cooperation in the operation, saying that I also needed
me and my car (and us the characteristics of the vehicle, fictitious registration XX1) belonging to the Chief Montevideo Police and had been in my possession after being used in one of the attacks mentioned. In the next few hours at noon, I went with the inspector XX to the Hotel Carrasco, against which the deputy had to wait XX. Once there, find XX, two department officials 4 (which had been sent to Brazil to receive entrenamiento estilo «escuadrón de la muerte» y a un joven que luego me enteré era Héctor Castagnetto. Esas cuatro personas estaban en un automóvil marca XX, que pertenecía al comisario XX, del departamento 4. Pude saber que Castagnetto había sido detenido esa mañana, en Avenida Italia y Propios, por los dos funcionarios del Departamento 4 aludidos. Yo no poseía antecedente alguno sobre la persona del detenido. El subcomisario XX nos dijo que había que «pasear» a éste durante toda la tarde, para lo cual había requerido la utilización de mi automóvil. Castagnetto fue trasladado al automóvil, sentado junto con XX; XX se ubicó adelante. El detenido vestía pantalón y saco y llevaba a bag containing discs of popular music. He looked a little nervous, but did not seem scared. XX informed the deputy that the car was not in working condition to go around all afternoon, answering that I should go out, which one would think something. A while later I said
that we would go to El Pinar and would spend the afternoon in an abandoned ranch he knew. He explained that the ranch had lived some militants MLN, which was conducted against a proceeding in which he had participated, and now the building was abandoned. We went to the construction indicated by XX. The ranch, construction something very old, located on the street that runs from Avenida Italia Speedway. Once installed on it I went with the car to a store that is on Avenida Italia, about two miles away, and bought some cold cuts and two or three bottles of mineral water. We spent the afternoon in El Pinar. Most of the time Castagnetto was sitting on the floor in a corner, handcuffed. Hardly spoke to him. XX just asked some questions: if it belonged to the MLN, to which Castagnetto said no, if you knew where the prison of the People, which also responded negatively, and what to do with the stock records, to what said he was working as an independent broker records. We took turns and while one was watching Castagnetto, the others we took a walk around. XX asked what would happen to the prisoner and he said he had no idea that this was a matter of XX. I asked the same question to it, who told me we were just killing time, while the two department officials who had found 4 and arrested Castagnetto gathered and prepared background interrogation. I said that we should not ask you any questions to Castagnetto and said that those officials "were forming a new team." Almost at dusk we left Montevideo, pointing XX take to the wadi. We came to a house that is on the street Araucana. There we received XX, saying that in the house were compartmentalized and that people should go around the car for ten minutes, while these people out. XX I had been presented earlier by Colonel XX, military adviser to the ... and so on. Is Paraguayan and tell him "doctor."
