Brigada Lautaro, Intelligence unit in Santiago, Chile
The Brigada Lautaro operated as an extermination unit within DINA, conducting operations from the Simon Bolivar headquarters in Santiago starting in August 1975.
Established in April 1974, this unit initially provided security for DINA chief Manuel Contreras and military authorities before expanding into systematic elimination operations.
The Simon Bolivar Memorial, established in 2016, documents the actions of Brigada Lautaro and serves as a center for historical documentation and remembrance.
The unit executed orders directly from Manuel Contreras, utilizing military helicopters and specialized facilities for their operations throughout central Chile.
Members of Brigada Lautaro employed specific elimination methods, including cyanide injections and sarin gas, marking a technical evolution in state repression tactics.
