Everything about Stefano Delle Chiaie totally explained
Stefano Delle Chiaie (born
13 September 1936 in
Caserta) is a
neofascist Italian activist (founder of
Avanguardia Nazionale and member of
Ordine Nuovo) who went on to become a wanted man worldwide, involved both in Italy's
strategy of tension and South America's
Operation Condor. He was a friend of
Licio Gelli, headmaster of
P2 masonic lodge.
Stefano Delle Chiaie took part in
Yves Guérin-Sérac's "
Aginter Press" founded in
Salazar's
Portugal in 1965. He also helped
Borghese during his
1970 attempted coup in Italy, before escaping to
Franquist Spain — as would
Vincenzo Vinciguerra — and met with future members of the
GAL death squad. He was then present at the
June 20, 1973 Ezeiza massacre in
Argentina, and then met with DINA US agent
Michael Townley in 1975 to prepare Chilean Christian Democrat
Bernardo Leighton's (failed) assassination. In 1976, he participated in the
Montejurra terrorist incident against left-wing
Carlists in Spain, and then lent a hand in
Luis García Meza Tejada's "cocaine coup" in
Bolivia (1980), along with
former Nazi Klaus Barbie. Judge
Baltazar Garzón's investigations demonstrated that he'd worked both for
Pinochet's
DINA, for the
Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (Triple A) and for
Hugo Banzer's dictatorship in Bolivia He is known by his nickname
caccola (shorty) as he's five feet tall; the name isn't particularly flattering as
caccola, in Italian, also means "
booger", and is very similar to
cacca, "
poo".
Founder of Avanguardia Nazionale in 1960
Delle Chiaie began as member of the
Italian Social Movement (MSI, the neo-
Fascist party). However he rejected the participation of the MSI in elections, preferring to take the battle to the streets, and so he left the party in 1960 to form the
National Vanguard (
"Avanguardia Nazionale") as a street-fighting battalion. Around this time, he also became a member of the secret
P2 Masonic Lodge.
Delle Chiaie soon became a close ally of
Junio Valerio Borghese and was involved with him in the
Golpe Borghese, an abortive coup attempt in Rome in 1970, after which he fled to
Spain. Here he continued to organise
Avanguardia Nazionale, as well as becoming an ally of veteran Belgian fascist
Léon Degrelle. Delle Chiaie has since spent most of his time working in Latin America, and was described by the
CIA as being the most wanted rightist terrorist in 1983. In the course of his activities Delle Chiaie was also known by a number of aliases, the most notable of which were
ALFA and
Alfredo Di Stéfano, after the celebrated footballer of the
same name.
Years of lead
Delle Chiaie was arrested in
Caracas, Venezuela in 1989 and extradited to Italy to stand trial for his role in the
Strage di Piazza Fontana bombing of Milan on
December 12 1969. Delle Chiaie was acquitted by the Assize Court in
Catanzaro in 1989, along with fellow accused
Massimiliano Fachini.. As of yet, no convictions have been made for the attack.
He was also charged with subversive association in relationship to the
1980 Bologna railway station bombing, but was acquitted on appeals.
According to
Le Monde diplomatique, Delle Chiaie met with
Abdullah Çatlı in Latin America and during a visit of the Turkish "
Grey Wolves" member in Miami in September 1982. Abdullah Çatlı "is reckoned to have been one of the main perpetrators of underground operations carried out by the Turkish branch of the Gladio organisation and had played a key role in the bloody events of the period 1976-80 which paved the way for the
military coup d’état of September 1980" .
Involvement in Operation Condor
Having become close to
Augusto Pinochet, he left Spain in 1974 to resettle in Chile, where he worked not only for the government, but also in training both government and rightist rebel troops in Argentina and El Salvador, participating in the "
Dirty War" and
Operation Condor assassination campaign.
With
Klaus Barbie, a
former Nazi, he took part in the 'Cocaine Coup' of
Luis García Meza Tejada, when a notoriously corrupt military regime forced its way to power in Bolivia in 1980, with assistance from the Argentine
SIDE which had called for on 70 foreign agents. He later worked for the new government in training its soldiers. Stefano Delle Chiaie later declared in a 1983 interview to a Spanish reporter:
"I was decided to give my hand to the creation of an international revolutionary movement... Therefore, when the opportunity of a national revolution appeared in Bolivia, we were there to shoulder our comrades. We were neither repressors nor narco-terrorists, but political militants."
During a 1997 hearing before the Commission on terrorism headed by senator
Giovanni Pellegrino, Stefano Delle Chiaie went on speaking about a "black fascist
International" and his hopes of creating the conditions of an "international revolution." He talked about the
World Anticommunist League, but said that after attending a meeting in Paraguay, he left it. He claimed that the latter was a front for the CIA . Delle Chiaie, along with fellow extremist
Vincenzo Vinciguerra, also testified in Rome in December 1995 before judge
Servini de Cubria that
Enrique Arancibia Clavel (a former Chilean secret police agent prosecuted for
crimes against humanity in
2004 ) and
Michael Townley (a United States-born secret police officer) were directly involved in this assassination .
Michael Townley has claimed that DINA agent
Enrique Arancibia Clavel, convicted in Argentina for the 1974 assassination of General
Carlos Prats, had traveled to California in Fall of 1977 on banking business for ALFA, alias Stefano Delle Chiaie .
