Pinochet’s Immunity Stripped

A Chilean court stripped former dictator Augusto Pinochet of presidential immunity as it looks into allegations he stashed millions of dollars in foreign bank accounts. Pinochet and his family had at least $15 million hidden in dozens of accounts overseas at various banks, a US Senate subcommittee said in March. Riggs Bank in Washington DC was fined $16 million by a US federal judge for helping Pinochet and the leaders of Equatorial Guinea set up secret accounts.
