October 5, 1963 - Gilberto Chamba
What distinguishes Chamba's case is the gap between accountability and consequence — convicted of multiple murders in Ecuador, he was released under an amnesty and subsequently continued killing abroad, demonstrating how legal mechanisms can fail to contain demonstrated patterns of violence. His crimes spanned two continents and two justice systems before a Spanish court issued a sentence of lasting weight.
