Chileans Demand Withdrawal of Pinochet´s Privileges

[Say_What]

Chickens coming home to roost. Allende and Letelier relatives are demanding withdrawal of Pinochet's privileges. I hope that POS Kissinger is getting nervous.

Santiago de Chile, Mar 17 (Prensa Latina) Chile´s Socialist Party deputies Isabel Allende and Juan Pablo Letelier have demanded the State Defense Council (CDE) to withdraw Pinochet´s privileges as the government and human rights groups welcome the US Senate investigation.

The Chilean authorities and human rights activists have welcomed a US Senate report that found ex dictator Augusto Pinochet, his family and senior officers had stowed at least US$13 million in 125 bank accounts, mainly in the United States.

The scale of the alleged fraud is greater than previously disclosed. It is so shocking that even hard-core supporters of the country´s former military dictator have been disheartened.

Carmen Hertz -one of the lawyers willing to strip Pinochet of his immunity as former president- upholds that using fake identities and forging diplomatic passports and secret accounts amounts to laundering money.
