===Brazil’s Role in Condor===
Brazil was a formal member of Operation Condor, with its military regime (1964–1985) actively participating in intelligence coordination and repression. Key aspects include:

Initial Meetings: A declassified CIA document from June 23, 1976, notes that security officials from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia met in Buenos Aires in early 1974 to plan coordinated actions against “subversive targets,” with Brazil’s involvement formalized by May 1976.

Repression Activities: Brazil contributed to Condor’s intelligence-sharing network, [[Condortel]], and its computerized database, which stored information on thousands of suspected dissidents. Brazilian military and police units abducted and transferred activists, such as Norberto Habegger (1978) and Mónica Pinus de Binstock (1980), to Argentina for detention and likely execution.

Alleged Poisonings: The 2013 documentary Dossiê Jango implicated a Condor-linked bacteriological warfare laboratory in [[Colonia Dignidad]], Chile, in the poisoning of Brazil’s deposed president João Goulart (died 1976).

Limited Engagement: Brazil’s participation waned by 1977, as a CIA document from December 28, 1977, indicates Brazil withdrew its observers from Condor after attempting to assert leadership at a 1976 meeting in Santiago, facing resistance from other members.
