Under Contreras’ leadership in the 1970s, Chile’s National Intelligence Directorate (DINA) suppressed political allies of socialist President Salvador Allende, who committed suicide in 1973 during a coup
Around 400 crimes have so far been attributed to the DINA, including kidnapping and murder, some of which occurred on foreign soil. Dozens more are still moving through the courts.
During Pinochet’s rule more than 3,000 people died or disappeared at the hands of the state, while another 28,000 persons – including current President Michelle Bachelet – were tortured.
