Operation Condor was a conspiracy or unlawful association among the dictatorships of Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia. Its purposes included coordinating the persecution, abduction, torture, and disappearance of political opponents. The exchange of intelligence information was a key element in this structure. The Court on Criminal Matters No. 1 of the City of Buenos Aires found these crimes proven when handing down the sentence in the trial known as Operation Condor-Orletti II. Automotores Orletti was a clandestine detention center located in the city of Buenos Aires and commanded by the State Secretariat of Intelligence (Secretaría de Inteligencia del Estado, SIDE) that operated within the framework of Operation Condor.

This trial involved crimes committed against 174 victims from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

Fifteen defendants were convicted in the case known as Automotores Orletti, including former Commander Reynaldo Bignone, former Uruguayan military officer Manuel Juan Cordero Piacentini, and former civilian intelligence agent Miguel Ángel Furci. Jorge Rafael Videla, also a defendant in this case, died before its conclusion.
