Pinochet’s Agents Will Remain in Jail for up to 20 Years

Santiago de Chile’s First Court of Appeals Friday sentenced 31 secret police officers to penalties of up to 20 years for their participation in the disappearance of two filmmakers on Nov. 29, 1974. The ruling established the responsibility of members of the National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) in the kidnapping of Carmen Bueno and Jorge Muller, who were militants of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). The judges determined sentences for several DINA agents, Gen. Raul Iturriaga, Gen. Cesar Manriquez, and brigadiers Pedro Espinoza and Miguel Krassnoff, all of whom are currently in jail due to their participation in human rights violations during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990).
