Nephews Of The Pioneers
SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - Chileans always gave ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet (news - web sites) credit for keeping his hand out of the till during his bloody 17-year regime, but a new scandal over multimillion dollar bank accounts could ruin the general's corruption-free reputation.
A U.S. Senate report released in July concluded Washington, D.C.-based Riggs Bank violated money-laundering regulations by hiding up to $8 million and helping Pinochet evade international legal efforts in the 1990s to freeze his assets.
Hmmm..... a bank aiding a murderous right-wing dictator.
Where have I heard that before?
