ABSTRACT
This paper approaches to a poorly researched event and yet circulates as an underground memory between survivors and former members of the Revolutionary Left Movement: I refer to the "Villa Grimaldi Press Conference", a communicational montage organized by DINA (National Intelligence Directorate) in which the center was a group of militants of this organization who were abducted in the Cuartel Terranova (Villa Grimaldi). The operation consisted of prisoners publicly call to lay down the armed resistance against the dictatorship, declaring the political and military defeat of the MIR. Once the montage was complete, four militants were accused of treason and sentenced to death by this organization, even when finally was not implemented. In this article I approach to the various reports (many of them in conflict) that exist on this event, including the testimony of two survivors.
