Pinochet’s lost millions
(Independent): Two-and-a-half years after the death of General Augusto Pinochet, a report by the Chilean police task force charged with investigating money-laundering, has claimed that British authorities were complicit in hiding his massive ill-gotten fortune. The cover-up of Pinochet’s fortune took place in British colonies which were ultimately controlled by Whitehall. They range from Gibraltar, the Caribbean tax havens of the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands (BVI), to former colonies such as the Bahamas and Hong Kong.
