Oberdan Sallustro (1915 in Asunción, Paraguay – 1972 in Buenos Aires) was an Italian-Paraguayan entrepreneur, Director General of FIAT Concord in Argentina.
He was kidnapped and killed in 1972 by the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (ERP) guerrilla group,[1] according to newspaper reports.
[2] Oberdan Sallustro was kidnapped on March 21, 1972,[3] by a six-man, one-woman commando unit of the ERP.
As it is understood, it is because they did not come out with the expected quality, in a kind of "rematch" for the violent death of Oberdan Sallustro.
Since then, any Fiat or IVECO model that presents a problem or mechanical defect is nicknamed that way.
