The wheels of Justice Continue to Turn

No even death will cheat justice. There are approximately 300 suits filed against Augusto Pinochet. There is also 30 million dollars held by Riggs Bank in New York in his name. Isabel Allende, a solialist representative in the Chilean Congress and daughter of the deposed and murdered President Allende, has been assured that the legal matters filed will continue. It is highly unlikely that a military general could come by that huge amount of money through legitimate means and Ms. Allende has held that it belongs to the Chilean treasury and is needed to compensate the thousands of General Pinochet's victims.

It appeared from the photographs (ap and elmundo.es) that anti-funeral was more heavily attended than Pinochet's military funeral. It also has been reported that the Chilean Army will be disciplining the grandson of Pinochet, Augusto Pinochet Molina, an officer in the Army for the comments he made at the funeral lauding his grandfather's acts and deriding the judges that have ruled against his grandfather's immunity. The Chilean Military, like our own, is absolutely forbidden to make political statements - especially in uniform for it can construed to be the opinions of the military branch itself.
