Camps, Ramón Juan Alberto
- Camps, Ramón Juan Alberto
(c. 1927–1994)
Argentine army general who was chief of the Buenos Aires provincial police until his retirement in 1981. Of the 9,000 to 30,000 people who disappeared in Argentina during the 1976–1983 “dirty war,” Camps claimed responsibility for the disappearance of 5,000. His most famous prisoner was Jacobo Timerman, who wrote about his imprisonment and torture under Camps in his best-selling book Preso sin nombre, celda sin número (published in English as Prisoner without a Name, Cell without a Number). In 1986, Camps was sentenced to 25 years in prison for human-rights crimes but was freed in 1990 under a general amnesty granted by President Carlos Saúl Menem. He died on 22 August 1994.
