Argentina In 1972 the Navy ordered his officers to make false statements to cover up the shooting of sixteen political prisoners helpless and support the official version of "attempt leakage "in the Almirante Zar naval base. The data recorded in the statement to the Justice held that opened the doors of the dungeons, Carlos Amadeo Marandino, which had exclusive access Página/12.'s novel into the mouth of a sailor but it's not surprising: it is the same force that installed the largest extermination center of the city of Buenos Aires and has not deigned to inform the fate of a single detainee-disappeared. Even more disturbing, however, is the present Navy: In October last year two captains were summoned to the building Marandino Freedom to tell the reopening of the case and anticipate that it would be aware of any developments. It would be an isolated case as Página/12 might know, the Captain Juan Martin Poggi, Undersecretary of Institutional Relations Marandino received, is in charge of a unit in naval parlance is called "Group of Containment" and work within the General Secretariat Naval advice to the comrades in misfortune charged with crimes against humanity.
Entrerriano, 58, driver of the naval attache at Washington until December 2004, Marandino is the fourth Navy officer arrested by Federal Judge Hugo Sastre, a third party who agreed to testify and the first to break the conspiracy of silence so expensive to the feelings of the naval family. The return out ahead of the United States when he learned that he had escaped his detention order. It gave meek in Ezeiza, was moved to Chubut and Wednesday spoke for five hours.
On August 16, 1972, when guerrillas escaped the prison in Rawson were locked in cells at the base Zar, Marandino for six days had arrived. I was 22, was a corporal, but served Infantry Satin crew functions. We played cover four guards, with different partners. The third was on 21 August. The final began at midnight 22. The were an officer and four or six people, he said. Pistols 45, said. Two other officers were behind a screen, sitting, with two machine guns. A guard looked out every 15 or 20 minutes in the peepholes of the cells. "From time to time gentlemen came Infantry officers traveled to," he said.
prisoners did not speak. They communicated by signs or beating on the walls. Toilet two people leaving custody. Same for lunch. At first ate in groups of two or three.
What was the behavior of detainees during his guards?
- No problem, ever.
"They yelled, protested or made scandal?
- in no time. Whenever there was silence.
"It was quite normal" up at 3.15 am, when they entered "the official gentlemen." There were five. "They walked well, were expressed well, but smelled of alcohol," he said. Two wore white trousers and blue jacket, who identified "the naval, seamanship and naval aviation." The other three, including a robust, uniform olive green color of the Marines.
"These gentlemen officers who came seemed a bit taken a drink (sic). I was ordered to disarm. I thought I had ordered a baton, I gave my gun as I was ordered," he said. An olive green handed the keys to the dungeons and ordered him to open them. "I opened the cells and did not mention nothing. Not woke up, "he said." Following completion of the order, ordered me to leave. I said 'yes sir' or 'understand, sir,' "he explained.
After the prisoners heard singing the National Anthem. Immediately" was heard as speaking very strong, many shouting "until" someone shouted ' want to escape. '"Then she heard gun shots, two blasts, a pause and isolated gun shot 45. When the shooting ended, Capt. Luis Emilio Sosa ordered to" check the status of the bodies. "Despite their" state of shock ", tried to comply." He was the smell of gunpowder, had smoke ", he said." I saw in the middle of the aisle. They were many cries of pain. "The shot was there." At no time left, "he said.
" I made two or four steps and back. I feared for my health, by the shock of seeing the bodies. I turned in my arms very nervous and confused.

Poggi he predicted that "might have new post-election" and said he would keep it informed. He was handed his cards, took note of how to locate his lawyer Roberto Aguiar, but never communicated.
The
story to cover not only public opinion the Navy released the old story of the escape attempt, the shooting and inevitable dead. The same principle prevailed in the summary lead, which they instructed to simulate investigate the events at the base Almirante Zar. "Two or three days after" the slaughter "I was informed that the flight was to show these people and in turn that the captain Sosa had been beaten by these people," said Marandino. He recalled that his statement was spent in Bahía Blanca and never obtained a copy of his testimony. The summary is not added to the cause. The Navy reported that he died in one of the many fires that often appropriate devour your sensitive documents. It is known, however, which was led by retired Navy Captain George Enrique Bautista. The prosecutor Fernando Gelvez and asked not to cite him to give evidence but questioning. Bautista has 81 years.
