Pinochet's daughter detained in US

The older daughter of former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet was detained today on arrival in Washington after failing to obey a summons by a Chilean judge who indicted her on tax evasion charges, the government reported.

Lucia Pinochet “was the target of an international arrest warrant issued by a Chilean judge” and “was held at an airport in the city of Washington,” said presidential spokesman Osvaldo Puccio.
