Operation Colombo was an operation undertaken by the DINA (Chilean secret police) in 1975 that involved the disappearance of political dissidents. 119 people -most of them members of the Leftist Revolutionary Movement, MIR – were abducted by state forces and later killed in the 1975 secret operation. The murders were disguised by the DINA as inside-fights, by the creation of two false magazines in Brazil and Argentina, who published the list of 119 dead political opponents.
