Raúl Eduardo Iturriaga Neumann (born January 23, 1938) is a
Chilean Army general and a former deputy director of the
DINA, the Chilean secret police under the
Augusto Pinochet military dictatorship. He was in charge of a secret
detention center known as
La Venda Sexy ("Sexy Blindfold") and
La Discothèque — because of the
sexual abuse inflicted on blindfolded prisoners as loud music masked their screams. An aide to General
Manuel Contreras, head of the DINA, he was in charge of several assassinations carried out as part of
Operation Condor. He has been condemned
in absentia in Italy for the failed murder of Christian-Democrat
Bernardo Leighton, and is wanted both in Spain and in Argentina. In the latter country, he is accused of the assassination of General
Carlos Prats.
