When we talked about the bloodiest families in history, we did not do the Puccio family, the Clan, which 30 years later continues to scare in Argentina .Today we are going to approach a family led by the patriarch, Arquimedes Puccio, who along with his children and some other henchman kidnapped four people-murdered three hostages-between 1982 and 1985; although the police suspect that there might be some more.
The victims
His first victim was Ricardo Manoukain, a 23-year-old friend of Alejandro, one of the sons of Archimedes Puccio.He disappeared on July 22, 1982, and despite his family paying a ransom of 250,000 dollars murdered Manoukian moria victim of three shots in the head.The next victim was Eduardo Alet, who played rugby with Alejandro (Puccio even played in the Pumas, the national team).In spite of paying a ransom of 150,000 dollars, Aulet's family did not recover Eduardo's body until four years later.
We reach June 1984, when Emilio Naum gets out of his vehicle when he sees his friend Archimedes beckoning him.However, Archimedes tries to kidnap him.When Naum realizes what is happening, he resists and finally the boss of El Clan shoots him.The fourth and last victim was Nelida Bollini de Prado, a businesswoman who marked the end of El Clan.After more than a month kidnapped in the basement of the Puccio, the police broke out in August 1985 when almost the whole family was going to collect the ransom .Only Alejandro and his girlfriend were at home, and Archimedes' son was arrested.
What happened to the Puccio?
His friends never suspected that the Puccio were one of the most important murderer sagas in Latin America, and Archimedes and Alejandro always denied any relationship with the murders, but they ended up in jail. The patriarch was sentenced to life imprisonment , but in 2008 he benefited from the 2 × 1 law and was released from prison.He went to live at the house of an evangelist pastor, but five years later he died of a stroke.He is buried in a common grave.
A similar path followed Alejandro.In 1997 he left jail thanks to the law 2 × 1, but he returned due to errors in the process.Finally he died in 2008 after several suicide attempts.One of the most rocambolesque cases was that of Daniel Puccio, “Maguila”, who in 2013 returned to collect the document where it is known that the cause has prescribed and is blameless..He was never tried, and it is believed that between 1985 and 2013 he lived as a refugee in New Zealand or Brazil, a country in which they say he still lives, working on something related with rugby.
Of Guillermo, the third son, his relationship with the facts was never clarified.He was abroad when the case was uncovered, it is not known if he fled, and there he continues.of the daughters, he died of cancer in 2011 and in Argentina there are only Epifania Calvo and Silvia, the youngest daughter (he was 13 years old in 1985) who changed his last name.Of Epifania, the wife of Archimedes and mother of the five children Yes, it is said that he lives in Buenos Aires, practically in secret, and is around 90 years old.
The house
Precisely Epifania demanded a clause to the new owners of the house so that nobody can take pictures. The Puccio house, in whose basement the abducted victims were, has been abandoned for three decades until two designers decided to install a screen printing shop there.The house, almost in ruins, is still property of Epifania.Now, Argentina remembers the horrors of El Clan.On the 30th anniversary of its end a movie has been released about them, a series is prepared and its house, finally, has new tenants.
