In a separate agreement. Uruguayan intelligence agreed to operate covertly in Paris with its Argentine and Chilean counterparts against the Revolutionary Coordinating Junta and other leftist Latin American subversive groups. these security services are already coordinating operations against targets in Argentina. In May armed men ransacked the offices or the Argentine Catholic Commission on Immigration and stole records containing information on thousands of refugees and immigrants. Argentine police did not investigate the crime and dismissed it us a simple robbery. Two days later, 24 Uruguayan and Chilean refugees, many of whom were the subjects of .mmission flies, were kidnaped and tortured for several hours. Some of the refugees later said their interrogators were security officers From Chile and Uruguay. Presumably, a Chilean-Uruguayan operation could not have been undertaken without the cooperation of the Argentine security forces. There are also several reports that Chilean subversive leader Edgardo Enri- quee, who was arrested by Argentine security forces on April 10, was subse- quently turned over to the Chileans and is now dead. Meanwhile, the Brazilian press reports that Argentina has handed over to Chilean authorities a Brazilian political exile wanted by Santiago.
