Juan José Torres González was a Bolivian socialist politician and military leader who served as the 50th president of Bolivia from 1970 to 1971, when he was ousted in a US-backed coup that resulted in the dictatorship of Hugo Banzer. He was popularly known as "J.J." (Jota-Jota). He went into exile in Argentina. Torres was assassinated in 1976 in Buenos Aires, likely by agents associated with the Argentine regime of Jorge Rafael Videla. It has also been alleged that it was done with acquiescence of Hugo Banzer as part of Operation Condor.
