Judge Grants Pinochet Bail, but Conditionally
From Times Wire Reports
A judge granted bail to former military strongman Augusto Pinochet in the case of nine dissidents who disappeared during his dictatorship, but the ex-general will remain under house arrest while another court reviews the decision.
Judge Victor Montiglio set bail at $19,200 but said the Santiago Court of Appeals must uphold his decision before Pinochet can end his six-week house arrest. Pinochet, 90, has remained in his suburban Santiago mansion since Nov. 24.
