- Regarding the informal meetings between the authorities and the accused Carlos Telleldín 190. TOF 3, in its judgment of October 2004, found that, at the beginning of 1995, a person named Héctor Pedro Vergéz, at that time an officer in retirement from the Argentine Army, appeared before the courts of the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 9 and requested to hold a private interview with Mr. Telleldín. Judge Galeano granted the request and, consequently, two meetings took place at the court's offices on January 20 and February 2, 1995. Vergéz attended those meetings accompanied by a SIDE agent named Daniel Ricardo Romero, who was in charge of videotaping the conversations. Towards the end of February, Vergéz and Romero visited the detention facility where Telleldín was being held on two other occasions 173. 191. In his statement at the oral trial conducted by TOF 3, Vergéz assured that “Dr. Galeano was fully aware of the interviews he had with Telleldín and of the investigation he was carrying out together with Daniel Romero”174. Romero, for his part, maintained that he delivered a copy of the recordings to the court and another copy to SIDE agents assigned to an office called "Sala Patria”175. 192. The interviews with Vergéz, Romero, and Telleldín meant, in the opinion of the Federal Oral Criminal Court No. 3 "the first maneuver to obtain information from the mouth of the detainee Telleldín outside the procedural regulations”176. Indeed, TOF 3 deemed proven that in the meetings between Vergéz, Romero, and Telleldín, the latter mentioned that, in the months prior to his arrest, he had been the victim of extortion by members of the Buenos Aires Province Police, who demanded money and cars to allow him to continue with his activity of buying and selling stolen vehicles177. 193. As corroborated by oral courts 3 and 2 in their judgments of October 2004 and May 2019, respectively, Vergéz and Romero were not the only individuals who met personally with Telleldín in the months in which it was the only one arrested suspect in the case for the attack. Telleldín also received in prison the visit of the then president of the National Chamber of Federal Criminal and Correctional Appeals, Luisa Riva Aramayo. The results of the interviews between Riva Aramayo and Telleldín were recorded by Judge Galeano in records incorporated into the casefile178. 194. Judge Riva Aramayo went to the prison where Telleldín was detained on various occasions between the months of August and October 1995179. On some of these occasions, Ms. Riva Aramayo went to jail in a car driven by the personal driver of the then National Intelligence Secretary, Hugo Anzorreguy 180. As a result of these interviews, Ms. Riva Aramayo informed Galeano that Telleldín "mentioned to her that those who received the van were police officers from the Province of Buenos Aires that he knew, whose names he reserved”181. Likewise, Riva Aramayo informed Galeano that Telleldín "conditioned its cooperation on the prior fulfillment of certain requirements that were not specified”182. Annex 2. Judgment of the TOF 3.
