December 14, 1951 - Álvaro Corbalán
A senior figure within Chile's secret police apparatus, Corbalán operated at the institutional center of state repression during the Pinochet years — a period in which thousands were detained, tortured, or disappeared. His conviction places him among the relatively small number of CNI officials to face formal legal accountability for crimes committed under the cover of national security. The Punta Peuco facility where he is imprisoned was itself built specifically to house former military and intelligence personnel convicted of human rights violations.
