On 18 October 1976, seven months after the government of Isabel de Perón had been ousted, five guerrillas killed Enrique Aroza Garay, an executive of the German-owned Borgward automobile factory. On 3 November, a Chrysler executive, Carlos Roberto Souto, was killed in Buenos Aires by Montoneros. Later the same month, the Montoneros kidnapped Franz Metz, the industrial director of Mercedez Benz in Argentina, but released him five weeks later when the German company agreed to pay a ransom, reportedly US$S 5 million. On 13 October 1977, a Montoneros car bomb detonated outside the home of a Chrysler executive. The businessman was not there, but his guard and a neighbor were killed. On 16 December, Montoneros killed Andre Gasparoux, a top French executive of the Peugeot Motor Company.

===Triple A===
The Argentine Anticommunist Alliance (''Alianza Anticomunista Argentina'' or Triple A) was a right-wing formations of death squads secretly founded in Argentina in 1973 and particularly active under the government of Isabel Perón. Initially associated with the Peronist right, the organisation opposed the Peronist left and other leftist organizations. It collaborated with the military and police to exterminate left wing guerrillas and their collaborators hidden among the civilian population. The paramilitary group was dissolved in 1976 by the military junta, which continued the tactics of the AAA until 1983.
