Former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet may be dead and buried but that doesn’t mean that his collaborators are immune from justice. A French judge has issued orders against seventeen Chilean officers who served under Pinochet and may be involved in the disappearances of four Frenchmen between 1973 and 1975. One of the French citizens who disappeared under the Pinochet regime was the personal doctor to Pinochet’s predecessor- Salvador Allende.
