Pinochet Says He Doesn’t Recall Abuses
Former dictator Augusto Pinochet told a judge that he does not remember what security forces did at a secret detention center where thousands of people were tortured and hundreds were killed.
Judge Alejandro Solis questioned Pinochet in connection with 59 cases of torture and kidnapping at the Villa Grimaldi detention center, where Pinochet’s forces once jailed and abused President Michelle Bachelet and her mother, among other victims.
The judge is weighing whether to indict the 90-year-old former strongman, who has been stripped of his immunity as a former president.
