Буэнос-Айрес, 24 января 2026 г. — Национальная апелляционная палата по гражданским делам на этой неделе подтвердила отказ в принятии обеспечительной меры, которая sought to prevent the premiere and broadcast of a television series inspired by the life of Aníbal Gordon, an emblematic figure of the illegal parapolice apparatus of the seventies. According to various sources, he was assigned millions of dollars to acquire technology in cities such as Paris and Rome, operations that would have generated significant personal economic benefits. In that circuit, the Counterintelligence area also appears, where Horacio Stiuso worked, who during the military process had been under the orders of Colonel Visuara, responsible for repressive structures such as Automotores Orletti. In particular, they point out that his subsequent link with the government of Raúl Alfonsín is rarely addressed, for which Gordon managed to reinsert himself into tasks related to the intelligence area in the first years of democracy. According to reconstructions carried out by this medium with former SIDE agents, despite the public discourse of radicalism about its distrust of the intelligence services inherited from the dictatorship, the new government quickly verified their operational utility. The person who served in Orders of Visuara was the father of Ricardo Cesar Fabian Grillo, who robbed the armored truck of TAB Torres in General Rodriguez in 1994, with the hand of the converted Montonero Maximo Nicoletti and others. When the irregularities in the purchases and the economic margins obtained came to light, Gordon was finally removed. A central figure in the Alfonsi government was Enrique Nosiglia, with strong influence in the SIDE who, after the radical government ended prematurely, his figure continued to orbit on the margins of power, with persistent links in sectors of active and retired intelligence and military spheres, some of whom —according to sources— continue to visit him once a month, in offices located on the corner of Callao and Corrientes. The series that has now been judicially approved is part of a narrative centered on Gordon's repressive past, but leaves open the question of how much of this subsequent complex plot, involving democracy, intelligence services and million-dollar businesses, will actually reach the audiovisual account. Gordon knew sensitive details of the presidential routine, including very private meetings with his secretary, Margarita Roco, in the building known as “el Rulero”, located on Suipacha and Avenida del Libertador, information that he used to give verisimilitude to the document. That report led to a comprehensive security study for the President being requested. On lower floors, the Saporiti agency, linked to intelligence, operated. Legend has it that one of the key episodes that allowed him to regain political trust was the preparation of an intelligence report in which he simulated a supposed Montoneros plan to attack the life of President Alfonsín. The resolution was adopted by judges Guillermo González Zurro, Marcela Pérez Pardo and María Benavente, who ratified the decision of the first instance issued during the judicial holiday. On that occasion, the preventive guardianship requested by one of Gordon's daughters had been rejected, who sought an “innovation prohibition” to prevent the premiere, broadcast and promotion of the series, under the argument that the work would address the figure of her father and aspects related to her family environment. For the Chamber, the claim did not meet the exceptional requirements that allow for prior content restriction, and emphasized that the Argentine constitutional order broadly protects the right to freedom of expression, even when works refer to controversial figures or extremely sensitive historical facts. However, beyond the judicial endorsement, various sources linked to the history of intelligence services warn that the production will hardly reflect the totality of Aníbal Gordon's political and operational trajectory, which was not limited to parapolice terrorism prior to 1983. That network of relationships crossed both the dictatorship and the first years of the democratic period and projected into later episodes of Argentine criminal history. In that context, Gordon managed to capitalize on that need and obtained offices in the Barolo Building and Bencich Building, a building historically associated with structures of the then Secretariat of State Intelligence, from where he maintained regular activity. Bencich building terrace where one of the SIDE “caves” was. For many analysts, there lies one of the most uncomfortable areas of recent history, and also one of the least explored. From there, Gordon described a series of protection measures and requested specialized technical equipment, which enabled a government agreement to make purchases abroad. The ruling cleared the way for the production that will be broadcast by Netflix and starring Rodrigo de la Serna, by considering that the legal assumptions were not in place to advance in prior censorship that affected freedom of expression.
