This report recounts that one of Brizola’s relatives, João Calixto, took a three-day trip from Porto Alegre (Brazil) to Montevideo (Uruguay) to deliver a report about the military situation in Brazil. The report states that the former governor of Rio Grande do Sul state (southern Brazil) would be “inactive” from thereafter, considering that nothing more could be done in Brazil. Brizola was living in an estancia in the Uruguayan department of Durazno.

This document recounts that the Cuban Intelligence Directorate (G2) agent, Sonia Lafoz was having a romantic affair with the former Brazilian naval attaché, Joaquim Cerveira in Chile. He disclosed to Sonia that, after having received information about Edmur Camargo’s trip, he had contacted the aeronautic attaché in Buenos Aires, who was going to lead the operation to arrest Camargo. The news spread quickly among Brazilian exiles. Sonia managed to convince Cerveira to give her Camargo’s flight details.

This report recounts that Joaquim Pires Cerveira and other Brazilian exiles in Chile suspected that an aeronautics attaché in Buenos Aires was responsible for Edmur Camargo’s disappearance. Cerveira was able to get hold of copies of records from the airline LAN-Chile confirming that Camargo had been forced to get off the aeroplane signed by the pilot in Ezeiza. This information clarifies doubts as to whether Camargo was actually arrested. There is no signature and the document is stamped at the bottom.

This report records that Brazilian exiles in Chile were worried about the disappearance of Edmur Péricles Camargo. In response, they handed a document to the Chilean Interior Ministry recounting Camargo’s trajectory and his journey to Montevideo on 16th June 1971 for health reasons. Camargo was due to return on 10th July but he had not contacted any of his comrades, who had received information that he had been kidnapped by Argentine and Brazilian police agents and later handed over to the Brazilian authorities. There is no signature and only a stamp can be seen at the bottom.

This report records that the Brazilian exile Edmur Péricles Camargo, nicknamed “Gauchão”, travelled on the LAN No.153 flight from Santiago (Chile) to Montevideo (Uruguay). He was carrying three letters with him: the first, which was addressed to a Uruguayan doctor, was actually a communication between Brazilian exiles in Uruguay and the Tupamaros guerrilla organisation. Edmur had been told not to contact Leonel Brizola and his followers in Uruguay. There is no signature and only a stamp can be seen at the bottom.

This report recounts the operation that took place on 16th June 1971, leading to the detention and subsequent forced disappearance of the Brazilian exile Edmur Péricles Camargo. Argentine police officers forcibly dragged Camargo from a LAN-Chile plane, which had just arrived at Buenos Aires’ Ezeiza International Airport on a layover between Santiago (Chile) and Montevideo (Uruguay). A Brazilian Airforce (FAB) plane landed in Buenos Aires on 17th June and travelled to the Galeão Air Base in Rio (Brazil) with Camargo on board, escorted by Brazilian agents.

This report was originally written in the Brazilian Embassy in Uruguay. It analyses the situation of refugees and Brazilian exiles in Uruguay, which fall under three main boxes according to their legal status: 1) political asylum seekers, 2) refugees (political or not), and 3) permanent residents.  Among the political exiles to receive asylum from the president of Uruguay were important figures such as João Goulart, Leonel Brizola, and Jefferson Cardim.

This report recounts the operation of the detention, torture, and imprisonment of the Brazilian exile Jefferson Cardim de Alencar Osario, along with his son, and his nephew, in Buenos Aires on 11th December 1970 and their arrival at Buenos Aires port from Colonia (Uruguay). The operation was coordinated and carried out by military attachés belonging to the Brazilian embassy in Buenos Aires and agents of the Coordinación Federal (Federal Coordination) of the Argentine Federal Police.
