A man and a woman declared this Thursday before the Federal Oral Court (TOF) 1 of La Plata about the kidnapping and torture they suffered during the last military dictatorship and highlighted the "special, strong silence" that was recorded at night, when " "people in civilian clothes" entered the Infantry Corps of that city to take detainees to torture. They are Antonieta Giordano, a worker at the company Sociedad Industrial Aparatos de Precision (SIAP), and Fermín Azcárate, a law student, kidnapped along with his three brothers when they were participating in a party with friends. Both testified before the TOF 1 of La Plata, which since last May has been judging 18 repressors for the crimes committed against 210 captive victims in the Infantry Corps of streets 1 and 60 of La Plata and the 8th police station. from the provincial capital Giordano related that "the factory had been surrounded by the military and the day before they had taken several people, but I didn't think anything of that when they told me to go to a Human Resources office, where along with another colleague and two more colleagues "They put us in a van and took us out of the factory." The woman recalled that she thought that once they found out her background, which she had none, they were going to return her to the factory, despite which she asked a co-worker that "if I don't come back at 5 p.m., tell my mother that she go pick my kids up from school." It was March 30, 1976, Giordano, separated with 2 children, entered the Infantry Corps in the van and, after getting out of the vehicle, she was blindfolded and interrogated.
