Américo Gilvonio Conde

Américo Gilvonio Conde (died 2012), also known as "Juan Carlos" or "Johnny",[1][2] was a Peruvian lawyer and former member of the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA).

Biography

Gilvonio served under Hugo Avellaneda Valdez as part of the group's international wing.[3] By the early 1990s, he was the group's number three, directly under Néstor Cerpa Cartolini and Miguel Rincón Rincón.[4]

He was captured in Breña by DIRCOTE on June 22, 1993, as part of an operation codenamed "Cuervo 3".[5][6] At the time, he was considered responsible for the group's legal wing, finances and special forces, also overseeing a number of kidnappings—such as that of Héctor Delgado Parker on October 4, 1989[7]—and killings, such as that of General López-Albujar in 1990.[4][8]

He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was released on probation after serving three-quarters of his sentence on May 15, 2009, although without having paid a civil reparation fee.[4] He died three years later, in 2012, without having paid his S/. 10,000 fee.[9][10]

Personal life

Gilvonio's siblings, Dionisio Raúl and Nancy were also members of the MRTA.[11] His son, Abel, is the founder of Hijos de Perú, an association formed in 2005 by the children of MRTA members.[12]
