195. As was established by Federal Oral Courts Nos. 3 and 2, the actions of Vergéz, Romero, and Riva Aramayo represented an “informal and surreptitious activity of the State in order to obtain Carlos Telleldín’s statement.”183 The new investigative statement was concluded on July 5, 1996, and it was on that occasion that Telleldín first involved police officers belonging to the Lanús and Vicente López brigades of the Buenos Aires Province Police in the attack 184 . In the words of TOF 3, Telleldín's statement "was preceded by an armed, consented, and guided architectural design by federal judge Galeano, to whom the chambermaid Riva Aramayo was no stranger, and who were precisely the ones who had to ensure that this type of illicit maneuvers never happened”185 (see supra para. 61). - Regarding the payment of a sum of money to Carlos Telleldín from the reserved funds of the Secretary of State Intelligence 196. In the judgment handed down by TOF 3 in October 2004, it was established that the then judge Galeano held two informal meetings with Carlos Telleldín at his official office on April 10 and July 1, 1996. Both meetings were recorded on video through a hidden camera placed by the judge inside his own office. The TOF 3 warned that in the video corresponding to the July 1 meeting, "Dr. Galeano can be seen talking with Telleldín in an entertaining and relaxed manner” 186 and that "various topics were addressed that were the subject of investigation in the case and about which the defendant, within his right to exercise his material defense, had not yet spoken about”187. 197. As TOF 3 was able to reconstruct, during the exchange between Judge Galeano and Telleldín, the Judge “under the pretense of an alleged purchase of copyright in a book […] tries to agree with the accused on a statement in exchange for a sum of money, as well as the form of payment”188. Additionally, it appears from the tape that Judge Galeano assured Telleldín that the person interested in acquiring the book needed to know whether he "could answer certain points, at least by saying yes or no", to which Telleldín replied that what he wanted was the money to be deposited to his wife in a bank account189. 198. Based on the testimonial statements made by various SIDE authorities and agents in the oral proceedings held before TOF 3, it was established that Carlos Telleldín, through his partner, received the sum of 400,000 dollars from reserved funds entrusted to the administration of the State Intelligence Secretariat itself. Indeed, the then Secretary of State Intelligence, Hugo Anzorreguy, declared before the TOF 3 that “at the end of May 1996 Dr. Galeano came to his office, commenting that the case was stalled, that Telleldín's relatives were scared and that he needed a sum of money to unblock the proceedings”190. Mr. Anzorreguy also added “that he did not ask about what Telleldín would contribute, nor did the judge tell him, but he immediately responded affirmatively to his request as it was one more contribution from the agency under his charge ‘to move ahead’191. 199. The TOF 3 found that the disbursement of the money to Telleldín's partner was made in two installments of 200,000 dollars each. The first payment took place on July 5, 1996 in the safe deposit box sector of a banking institution located in the town of Ramos Mejía. The second payment took place in October of the same year in a bank in the Federal Capital. The logistics of the operation was under the charge of SIDE agents, who immediately reported its successful conclusion to Secretary Anzorreguy and Judge Galeano 192. Annex 2. Judgment of the TOF 3.
