| | Augusto Pinochet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Pinochet was born in Valparaíso on November 25, 1915, the son of Augusto Pinochet Vera and Avelina Ugarte Martínez. | | | Pinochet transferred power to Patricio Aylwin, the new democratically elected president, in 1990; however, he retained his post as commander-in-chief of the army until 1998, when he assumed a seat in the Chilean Senate, which was intended to be his for the duration of his life, according to the constitutional amendments of 1980. | | | On August 8, 2000, the Supreme Court of Justice voted 14 to 6 to strip Pinochet of his parliamentary immunity, and he was prosecuted. |

| | Pinochet remained as commander of the army until 1998, when he was made senator for life, a title that brought with it lifelong immunity from criminal prosecution. | | | The Chilean supreme court, however, ultimately ruled that he was not healthy enough to stand trial. | | | New investigations began in 2004, leading to charges of kidnapping and murder and, prompted by revelations of Pinochet's secret offshore bank accounts, tax evasion, and this time the supreme court allowed them to proceed. |

| | Money-Laundering Scandal Involving Former Chilean Dictator Unfolds - Worldpress.org |
| | Pinochet, 88, was diagnosed with a mild case of dementia that has led courts in the past to deem him unfit to stand trial. | | | The Supreme Court assigned Judge Sergio Muñoz, who is also investigating a high-profile pedophilia case, to investigate the former general’s wealth. | | | The money-laundering case continues to overlap with other investigations involving the former general, including the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold a lower court’s order to strip the general of his immunity in ‘Operation Condor’, a brutal intelligence-gathering system conducted by the military dictatorships of six South American countries in the mid-1970s. |
