In October 1998, General Augusto Pinochet was arrested for crimes of genocide and terrorism. He spent months in house arrest in England, but 15 months after his arrest, he was declared not fit to stand trial. Upon his return to Chile, he was charged for his role in the Caravan of Death. He faced more charges over the next 5 years, but died of a heart attack in 2006. At the time of his death, he faced 300 criminal charges. He never spent a day in jail.
On this episode of Historias Unknown, Cristina tells Carmen what led up to the end of the Pinochet regime and what came after.
