In Chile, the widow and five children of the late dictator Augusto Pinochet have been arrested on corruption charges. The Pinochet family was detained as part of an ongoing probe into allegations Augusto Pinochet hid tens of millions of dollars in public funds in foreign banks.
Chilean President Michelle Bachelet: “Nobody in Chile can believe that justice cannot be met or that they are immune to the system, so I believe that we should be calm and wait for the outcome, but I think that it’s valid that there is justice and that it has a role to play.”
Arrest warrants have been issued for another 17 people, including retired military generals and former Pinochet confidants.
