Agustín Feced

Agustín Feced (born June 11, 1921, died 1980s or 1990s) was a major and commander of the Argentine National Gendarmerie, and the head of the police of the Province of Santa Fe for the city of Rosario, during the Dirty War.

He was in charge of the 2nd Regional Police Corps, and he was part of Intelligence Battalion 601 of the Argentine Army from June 1974, before the beginning of the military dictatorship, in the last days of the presidency of Juan Perón.

[1] Between 1976 and 1979, and already under the dictatorship of the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, Feced was the head of the Intelligence Service of the 2nd Corps, which doubled as an illegal detention center (the major one in the area, of a total of about 10).

Feced is known to have taken part in the kidnappings, in torture sessions when the victim was for some reason interesting to him, and in the killings, which were often conducted in faraway locations and sometimes passed off as fights between the police and armed terrorists.

A registry book of the Ariston Hotel in Rosario, presented as evidence to the court by the journalist Claudio de Luca, showed a signature with Feced's handwriting, dated July 29, 1988.

On December 15, 1989, the Penal Federal Court of Rosario, without giving weight to the above inconsistencies, declared the case against Feced extinct (closed) due to his alleged death.

Within the San Antonio Cemetery in Formosa, in the area reserved for members of the Gendarmería, there is a grave with the name of Agustín Feced, and an announcement in the local newspaper La Mañana says that he was buried there on the same day of his death, at 5:30pm.
