Barbie was identified as being in [[Peru]] in 1971 by [[Serge Klarsfeld|Serge]] and [[Beate Klarsfeld]] ([[Nazi hunter]]s from France), who came across a secret document that revealed his alias. Barbie was living at Malecon 200, Chaclacayo (11°57'26.3"S 76°43'45.2"W) a property owned by SS-''[[Sturmbannführer]]'' [[Friedrich Schwend]]. On 19 January 1972, this information was published in the French newspaper ''[[l'Aurore (1944 newspaper)|L'Aurore]]'', along with a photograph of Altmann which the Klarsfelds obtained from a German expatriate living in Lima, Peru.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Murphy |first=Brendan |title=The Butcher of Lyon: the story of infamous Nazi Klaus Barbie |date=1983 |publisher=Empire Books |isbn=0-88015-013-0 |edition=1st |location=New York |pages=280 |oclc=10173773}}</ref> In Peru, Barbie provided security services to the [[Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru|junta]] of General [[Juan Velasco Alvarado]] following the [[1968 Peruvian coup d'état|military coup of 3 October 1968]], including surveillance of the [[Embassy of the United States, Lima|U.S. diplomatic mission]] led by John Irwin in March 1969.<ref>Mark B.

Led by [[Beate Klarsfeld]], French journalist [[Ladislas de Hoyos]] and cameraman Christian van Ryswyck flew to La Paz in January 1972 in order to find and interview Barbie posing as his alias, Klaus Altmann. The interview took place on 3 February 1972 in the Department of the Interior building and the following day, in prison, where Barbie was placed under protection by the Bolivian authorities.<ref>{{cite web |title=TV: Ladislas de Hoyos est mort |url=https://www.lefigaro.fr/flash-actu/2011/12/08/97001-20111208FILWWW00753-tv-ladislas-de-hoyos-est-mort.php |website=Le Figaro |date=8 December 2011 |access-date=7 March 2020}}</ref> In the videotape, and while the interview was conducted in Spanish, Ladislas de Hoyos steers away from the previously agreed upon questions by asking whether Barbie has ever been to Lyon in French, a language he is not supposed to understand under his fake identity, to which Klaus Barbie automatically responds by the negative in German. Ladislas de Hoyos gave him photos of members of Resistance he had tortured, asking him if he recognized their faces, and, while he returned them in denial, his fingerprints unmistakably betrayed him. It was in this interview, later broadcast on French TV Channel [[France 2|Antenne 2]], that he was recognized by French resistance member Simone Lagrange, who had been tortured by Klaus Barbie in 1944.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dans les coulisses de l'interview qui fit tomber Klaus Barbie |url=https://www.telerama.fr/television/dans-les-coulisses-de-l-interview-qui-fit-tomber-klaus-barbie,76754.php |website=telerama.fr |date=9 January 2012 |publisher=Télérama |access-date=7 March 2020}}</ref>

The testimony of Italian insurgent [[Stefano Delle Chiaie]] before the Italian Parliamentary Commission on Terrorism suggests that Barbie took part in the [[Roberto Suárez Gómez]] supported 1980 coup d'état "[[History of Bolivia (1964–1982)#Geiler interim presidency, 1980 election, and military juntas|cocaine coup]]" of [[Luis García Meza]], when the regime forced its way to power in Bolivia in 1980.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bolivianexpress.org/blog/posts/the-butcher-of-bolivia | title=The Butcher of Bolivia | work=Bolivian Express Magazine | author=Laetitia Grevers | date=4 November 2012 | access-date=31 March 2016}}</ref>
