A Guide to the Pinochet Situation
Former Chilean dictator
Augusto Pinochet has the justice system trailing him. In many cases he has lost his immunity, opening the chance to be judged by local courts.
How to keep pace with and understand the developments?
Emol.com
has a website (in Spanish) where the cases are explained and updated
with the latest news. You can find mostly the same coverage in English
at the
BBC.
The 90-year-old Pinochet faces trials for tax-evasion charges arising
from a U.S. Senate subcommittee investigation that revealed he had
millions of dollars in secret accounts at Washington's Riggs Bank, as
well as many human rights abuse cases.
