Anti-subversive War: The Death of Tamagnini (1973)

Terrorist revenge

Senior Inspector Hugo Tamagnini was murdered on August 5, 1973. The inspector specialized in action against terrorism, and was key in the investigation that made possible the discovery of a group of the terrorist organization FAR, in Taco Ralo. Revenge would not be long in coming: that August 5, Tamagnini was traveling in his car through the City of Tucumán, along with a companion, when a car in which four or five terrorists were traveling approached him, and they began to attack him. shoot him with automatic weapons.
Inspector Tamagnini told his companion to get on the floor and tried to defend herself. However, he was seriously injured by 12 bullets and lost control of the car he was driving. Before dying, Hugo Tamagnini managed to recognize the terrorist Carlos Santillán – from the ERP – as one of his attackers. Santillán had been imprisoned but had escaped in 1971, leaving 5 prison guards dead, and although he had been recaptured, Cámpora's amnesty law had left him free to murder again. Indeed, the ERP took credit for the murder.
