Senate Says Pinochet Stashed Millions in U.S.
From Times Wire Services
Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and his family stashed at least $15 million in more than 125 hidden accounts at Citigroup, Riggs and other banks over 25 years, a U.S. Senate report says.
Pinochet used the accounts to move funds from offshore holding companies and to send cash to Chile, the subcommittee on investigations said.
Citigroup said Pinochet opened the accounts with false documentation and pseudonyms. They were closed nearly a decade ago, it said.
