| Summary: | At the end of the 90s, one of the so-called Truth Trials was held in Bahía Blanca, Argentina. Within this context, Lieutenant Colonel Julián Oscar Corres became the first active Argentine military officer to give judicial testimony following the laws and decrees that prevented criminal prosecution of those responsible for the human rights violations committed between 1976 and 1983. This paper analyzes the disputes and conflicts that occurred around the participation of Corres in this trial with the aim of contributing to the understanding of the social and political processes that intervened in the construction of the figure of the perpetrators of crimes during State terrorism in Argentina. To carry out this research, we worked with a qualitative analysis methodology based on different audiovisual and journalistic sources and in-depth interviews to judicial operators and surviving witnesses who participated as witnesses in the Bahia Blanca Truth Trial. |
