Thatcher calls general Pinochet her honorable friend. The general was a woman and child torturer, a mass murderer of thousands of his own innocent people. He is a named war criminal in Chile.
At the time of his death in December 2006, around 300 criminal charges were still pending against him in Chile for human rights abuses [torture, forced disappearance, assassination, etc.], tax evasion and embezzlement under his rule and afterwards -in 2006, Pinochet's total wealth was estimated at $28 million or more.
In September 2005, a joint-investigation by The Guardian and La Tercera revealed that the British arms firms BAE Systems had been identified as paying more than £1m to Pinochet, through a front company in the British Virgin Islands, which BAE has used to channel commission on arms deals. The payments began in 1997 and lasted until 2004.
