A few months ago this magazine revealed that Second Lieutenant Telmo Hurtado Hurtado, responsible for one of the largest massacres of civilians in the country's history, remained in the Army and continued to be promoted until he reached the rank of Major. On this occasion we offer new documentation for the clarification of this paradigmatic case: the military court's judgment convicting (and acquitting) Hurtado — a judicial decision kept under lock and key until today.
