A letter sent by the Office of National Intelligence (DINA) of Chile, on October 29, 1975, extending an invitation to the first work meeting of National Intelligence in order to create a structure “similar to that of INTERPOL in Paris, but dedicated to subversion,” 41 thereby marking a reunion which took place between November 25 to 30, 1975 in Santiago, Chile. In the Closing Act of said reunion the foundation for Operation Cóndor was established. 42 51. The Operation Condor operated in three main areas, first, in political surveillance activities of dissident exiles and refugees; second, in the operation of covert counterinsurgency actions, in which the role of the actors was completely confidential; and, third, in joint actions of extermination, directed at specific groups or individuals for which special teams of assassins were created, operating within and outside their countries, including in the United States and Europe. 43 52. This operation was very sophisticated and organized, and had ongoing training, advanced communications systems, intelligence and strategic planning centers, as well as a parallel system of clandestine prisons and torture centers so as to be able to receive the foreign prisoners arrested under Operation Condor. 44                                                                                                                                                                       26, 2009, supra note 39, folio 1243; Criminal Court of First Instance on Criminal Matters of 19° round of Montevideo, Judgment 037 of March 26, 2009, supra note 39, folio 1101; Criminal Court of First Instance on Criminal Matters of 19° round of Montevideo, Judgment 0159 of October 21, 2009, supra note 39, folio 1537; National Court of Madrid, Central Court of Instruction Number Five, Order requesting Extradition of Pinochet to the Government of England, Docket 19/97-J, November 3, 1998.
