Page "Paul Aussaresses" Paragraph 16

Aussaresses then went to Brasil in 1973 during the military dictatorship, where he maintained very close links with the military.

According to General Manuel Contreras, former head of the Chilean DINA, Chilean officers trained in Brazil under Aussaresses ' orders.

There, he advised the South American juntas on counter-insurrection warfare, also on the use of torture ( widely used against leftist opponents to the military regimes in Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Paraguay ).
