Jump To Comment: 2 1I'm sorry but I didn't make it clear, that when she skipped Chile last Sunday she did so by car to Argentina, and thence flew to Washington mid-week.
[According to the Chilean tax office, Lucia Pinochet has evaded $859,000 (£stg480,000) in taxes]
Chile has issued an international warrent of arrest. The other members of the Pinochet family are presently on bail.

Lucia Pinochet Hiriart skipped Chile last Sunday night just before the arrest orders were made.
She was arrested in Washington yesterday.
She had thought to apply for asylum from the USA. She's 60 years old. She claims her flight to the USA was planned long in advance and that she had tried to let the courts investigating her know. her grandson says she was going to go back anyway in March. The FBI want nothing to do with her.
She's being held by US customs and excise.
The Chilean government have rejected her claims for asylum reminding all that such a measure is afforded to fugitives from states where the rule of law is not present. Chile has been a state of rights since her father stopped being a dictator. If she had been fleeing her dad, thirty years ago she'd have had more of a chance of being an asylum case. If she'd been fleeing her dad thirty years ago she'd have had just as much a chance of ending up in a one way plane ride over the Pacific and being pushed out at the end. Or sitting in a stadium waiting her interrogation for wearing a short skirt.
