{{Main article|Augusto Pinochet regime (Chile, 1973–90)#Orlando Letelier, Carlos Prat & Bernardo Leighton Cases - the CIA uses Chile as a scapegoat}}
The U.S. government used the Chileans and the DINA as scapegoats in the Orlando Letelier, Carlos Prat & Bernardo Leighton cases that were perpetrated by the CIA agent Michael Vernon Townley Welch who used more than 15 assumed names, carried out three attacks against Chilean citizens: He assassinated the Prats couple in Buenos Aires; he made a criminal attempt against the Leighton couple in Rome, through the Italian neo-Nazi movement ''Avanguardia Nazionale''; and he assassinated Orlando Letelier and his secretary, Ronnie Moffit, in Washington D.C.
Three attacks in a row, in the first three years of the Military Government, and immediately prior to the Annual meeting of the United Nations in New York.
In the first of them, against the Prats couple, he had not yet established contacts with the DINA, according to his own statements, recorded in seven declarations statements collected by Minister Jorge Rodriguez Ariztía and existing in the file of the
in the file of the Argentine extradition request.<ref>En las Alas del Cóndor, 2021, Eduardo Raúl Iturriaga Neumann</ref>
Today the Chilean Raúl Eduardo Iturriaga Neumann is falsely accused of being the author of the assassination of Letelier, the leftist judges try to link the DINA with the assassination and Iturriaga as part of the DINA to the incident, but nor the DINA was the author, and Iturriaga Neumann was not on the DINA in 1976 since he left in December 1975 to study.<ref>[https://youtu.be/pD-0zDKtndw Declaración de Eduardo Iturriaga por su juzgamiento en el caso de Ronni Moffitt]</ref> Iturriaga is in the [[Punta Peuco Jail]] for this kind of accusations and is one of the [[Military Political Prisoners of Chile]].
After Townley's asylum in the U.S. following his plea bargain, he stated that, upon learning from General Contreras that nothing had been reported to President Pinochet about the attack, he would have replied: "Such a decision should not have been taken without his knowledge".
What will never be clarified is the role of the American Deep State in that attack and in that of General Carlos Prats. It will never be clarified, because there is no interest or means to investigate it and because the main witness and protagonist of the events has died, the American General Vernon Walters, a notorious secret agent who was a close friend of General Contreras.
Letelier was an active and uncomfortable (for the U.S.) agent of Fidel Castro in Washington. And the contents of his briefcase, recovered by the Americans after the attack, have never been found out.
It is reported by the [[fake news]] that CIA information has been "declassified" blaming Pinochet for having supposedly ordered the attack. President [[Michelle Bachelet]] while in Washington lay a wreath at the site of the attack and "thanked" the CIA for the "declassification". The media published that "Pinochet ordered Letelier's assassination". This is another set-up, because the CIA did not investigate the case and its "declassified" documents are mere opinions of fourth level US officials, which do not provide any proof of Pinochet's responsibility.
"La Tercera", the only local newspaper that, apart from publishing the headline, went into a little more detail about the alleged "declassifications", only presents the opinions of subordinate officials. Among them there is only one direct testimony, that of former Chilean lieutenant and deserter, Armando Fernandez Larios, who is in asylum in the U.S. in exchange for a "compensated confession", that is to say, in exchange for revealing everything he knew about the "Letelier case". He contradicted the headline of "Pinochet Ordered Letelier's Assassination", since he affirmed that "he did not know if Pinochet was involved in the preparation of the assassination".<ref>"La Tercera", 24.09.16, p. 14</ref> Then, the only valid witness that appears in the "declassification" denies the title of the information.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://blogdehermogenes.blogspot.com/2016/09/mi-mision-imposible.html|title=Mi Misión Imposible|date=September 24, 2016|language=es|publisher=[[Hermógenes Pérez de Arce]]'s blog}}</ref>
