From June 27 to July 1, 2022, the family members of Alberto Camps, Eduardo Cappello, Rubén Bonet and Ana María Villarreal de Santucho—four victims of the Trelew Massacre—went to trial in the Southern District of Florida and won. The catalog of evidence submitted to the jury painted a detailed picture of the horrific events of the Massacre, the Argentine military’s cover-up, and the years of persecution endured by the victims’ families.
The evidence presented at trial, as well as additional relevant documents, are available below. The evidence includes testimony from one of the three sole survivors of the Massacre, from personnel who worked at the Almirante Zar Naval Base during or immediately after the Massacre, and from our clients and other family members of victims. It also includes photographic and documentary evidence of the victims’ injuries, a contemporaneous report about the Massacre authored by the Argentine military, as well as the expert testimony of our legal, historical, forensic, and medical experts.
