Angela Maria Aieta de Gullo
Desaparecido Agosto 5, 1976
From the Desaparecidos Memory WallAngela Maria was Italian. She was a homemaker. She was married and had two children, Dante and Jorge Salvador. At the time of her abduction, her son Dante, who came from the leadership of the Peronist Youth, was in jail. Maria asked for his freedom. Along with other family members, she struggled to defend human rights and prison conditions in Argentina.
On August 5, 1976, in a joint operation, Cachimayo street was cut at the level of 1900 and the house at No. 1940 was taken by assault. Through the front, through the ceilings, from behind the house, Repressive Forces personnel stormed the Gullo family house and kidnapped Angela Maria.
Angela Maria was arrested for being a parent of a missing child. She was kidnapped and taken to E.S.M.A. From recent accounts of witnesses who were with her, it is known that at the end of September 1976, she was taken out of captivity and that her destiny was "the River Plata" by way of a "death flight." In her farewell to the witness, the witness said Angela Maria sensed her destiny of death and that she had come to terms with it. As Angela Maria said, “those who will leave this hell, who get out of this hell, have to inform others. They have to tell of the ones (such as Angela Maria) who passed through it.”
The Italian judiciary, through the decision of the Roman judge, Claudio Mancinetti, at the preliminary hearing held on April 5, 2006, decided to prosecute the oppressors of the E.S.M.A. They held accountable all members of the Task Force 3 (gt3 ) for the clandestine detention center attached to the army (the Escuela de Suboficiales de Mecánica – E.S.M.A) that ran Argentina during the military dictatorship in Argentina between 1976-1983. They are held accountable for the forced disappearance (kidnapping), torture and possible murder by the infamous "death flights,” suffered by Angela Maria Aieta of Gullo,.
