Former Chilean dictator Pinochet has been arrested for tax evasion. He was found to be keeping over 100 illegal bank accounts in the US (?!), England (?!), and Gibraltar. He is expected to soon face charges for his role in Operation Colombo (the 1975 disappearance of 119 members of the Revolutionary Leftist Movement). Unfortunately, if convicted, a life sentence would be quite short as he is already 90 already years old. At least it will give some closure to the families of his victims and will permit the country to turn the page to a new chapter of its history.

Pinochet's Wife, Children Indicted
Mon Jan 23, 12:38 PM ET

SANTIAGO, Chile - Gen. Augusto Pinochet's wife and four grown children were indicted and ordered arrested Monday on charges of tax evasion related to the former dictator's multimillion-dollar accounts at overseas banks, according to a judge's resolution read on state television.

Judge Carlos Cerda also granted freedom on bail to Pinochet's wife, Lucia Hiriart and four of his five children — Lucia, Veronica, Jacqueline and Marco Antonio, a benefit that must be upheld by the Santiago Court of Appeals. The older son, also named Augusto, was not indicted.

The combined alleged tax evasion by the Pinochet family mentioned in the resolution amounts to $2.05 million.

Also indicted were a lawyer for Pinochet and a secretary for Pinochet and the wife of Marco Antonio, his younger son.

According to Cerda's resolution, they all filed false tax returns.

Cerda set bails ranging from $5,600 to $560.

Cerda's decision is part of his investigation to determine the source of Pinochet's fortune abroad, officially estimated at $28 million.
