Criminal Complaint Filed Against Pinochet for Killings

HeadlineMar 28, 2000

This news from Chile: Lawyers filed a criminal complaint against General Augusto Pinochet yesterday, accusing the former dictator of ordering the killings of three members of the Socialist Party shortly after the bloody ’73 coup in which he seized power. Leftist lawyer Hugo Gutierrez said Pinochet personally ordered the killings. The military claimed the three victims, along with two soldiers, died when the truck transporting them to an internment camp plunged into a cliff, but Gutierrez said he had proof the government account was not true and that the two soldiers were still alive. Pinochet now faces seventy-eight criminal complaints filed on behalf of those who were killed or disappeared during his dictatorship.
