Enrique Arancibia Clavel

Arancibia was associated with the right-wing group responsible for the botched kidnapping of Chilean Army Chief of Staff René Schneider in 1970, which resulted in Schneider's death. General Schneider had supported Allende's election and advocated for an apolitical military through the Schneider Doctrine. However, Arancibia was not directly linked to Schneider's assassination. After the incident, Arancibia fled Chile and lived in unofficial exile in Buenos Aires, Argentina. == Argentina ==

From March 1974 to November 1978 Arancibia was a part of the DINA, and acted as a liaison between DINA and the Secretariat of Intelligence (SIDE). In 1978, shortly after Townley's extradition to the United States for the murder of diplomat Orlando Letelier in Washington, D.C. in 1976, Argentine intelligence officers arrested Arancibia for espionage. In 2000, Arancibia was sentenced to life in prison for the 1974 assassination of General Carlos Prats and Sofía Cuthbert in Bueno Aires, Townley served 62 months of a 10-year sentence for his role in the assassination of Orlando Letelier. Townley's plea bargain for confessing to the Letelier assassination granted him immunity from further prosecution, preventing his extradition to Argentina on charges related to Prats' assassination. In 2004, an Argentine court convicted Arancibia and sentenced him to 12 years for the kidnapping and torture of Laura Elgueta and Sonia Díaz, two Chilean woman who had been living in Argentina. Elgueta later served as the press chief for former Minister of Defense Vivianne Blanlot. Although the Prats case remained open in Chile, Arancibia was released on parole in July 2007 due to technical reasons after spending nearly 20 years in prison in Argentina. == Personal life and death ==

On 28 April 2011, Arancibia was found by his partner with 10 to 12 stab wounds across his chest and back in his Buenos Aires apartment. == See also ==
