New sentence for Chile spy chief

Contreras is already serving multiple prison sentences

Manuel Contreras, who headed Chile's security forces under General Augusto Pinochet's regime, has been sentenced to a further 15 years in jail.

He was convicted of masterminding the abduction and murder of a left-wing opponent, Jorge D'Orival, in 1974.

A judge found Contreras guilty of ordering abduction of the student, last seen alive at the notorious Villa Grimaldi detention centre.

Contreras is already serving prison sentences for torture and kidnapping.

2. This Chilean thug was sponsored by US neocons and their corporations.

Too bad Pinochet died before he made it to jail. Friedman, the IMF, World Bank and the neoconservative "free market" economists have so much blood on their hands. I wonder if they ever count the number of dead, missing and suffering people they are responsible for?
