Pinochet Family Cleared of all Charges

08:13 H | Topics: Chile - Justice - Politics

pinochet.jpgJust when you thought at least one Pinochet would get what was coming to them, on Wednesday a Chilean Court threw out embezzlement indictments against the widow and four children of the late dictator, Gen. Augusto Pinochet. The charges were thrown out because Lucia Hiriart, nor any of his children, Lucia, Veronica, Jacqueline and Marco Antonio had ever been government employees.

Two former pals of the dead dictator still have indictments against them, Gustavo Collao and Col. Eugenio Castillo. Additionally there is an appeal pending against one Pinochet son, the eldest, also named Augusto.
