[1] Lambruschini was promoted to Head of the Navy Chiefs of Staff in 1975, a rank second only to Admiral Emilio Massera in that branch.

His prominent role in the National Reorganization Process that took power in the March 1976 coup allowed him to oversee an ambitious modernization plan for the navy.

[1] Lambruschini's role in the Dirty War during the dictatorship led to numerous criminal charges including murder, illegal arrest, torture, theft and forgery.

He later faced civil lawsuits, and in November 1994 was ordered to pay (with Massera) $1 million to a victim whose family was abducted and murdered in 1976.

[4] His 15-year-old daughter Paula was murdered on August 2, 1978, when a large bomb was planted in an adjacent apartment by Lucila Adela Revora, a member of the Montoneros guerrillas.
