Miguel Nazar Haro (26 September 1924[1] – 26 January 2012) was the head of Mexico's Dirección Federal de Seguridad (Federal Security Directorate) from 1978 to 1982.
He started his career working for the secret-police chief Fernando Gutiérrez Barrios.
During his time in the DFS, Nazar Haro and the Directorate were involved in the Mexican government's so called Dirty War, a series of state-crimes against leftist insurgents, social movements and the government's political opposition.
He was arrested in 2004 on charges stemming from the disappearance of a group of alleged guerrillas.
