Abstract

The article aims to outline, based on primary sources, a chronology of actions that lead to Operation Condor (the criminal plan of the South American dictatorships), formalized in Chile on December, 1975. Dealing with the repressive connections already operating since 1972 through the Latin American Anti-Communist Confederation (CAL), an asset of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), the article tries to grasp those connections in the analysis of the Brazilian “chapter” of WACL/CAL, the Society of Social, Economic and Political Studies (SEPES). SEPES was associated to WACL and helped to set the CAL in 1972, organizing the II Congress of CAL in Rio de Janeiro (1974). Emphasizing how the military dictatorship were planning already the exchange of “subversives” one-year earlier of Condor, the article concludes, based on historiographical sources that Condor Prototype had organized, since 1973, the Transnational State Terrorism in South America.
