Pinochets Family is the 'Lickspittle of the British Empire'

October 10, 2007 (LPAC)--Having indicted the widow and children of the late dictator Augusto Pinochet on Oct. 4 for embezzlement of public funds, Chilean Judge Carlos Cerda is now preparing another round of indictments of some of the family members, which the British monarchy's weapons cartel -- BAE-- might find very bothersome.

The new charges are related to the illegal commissions paid to Pinochet by BAE, to the tune of $2 million between 1997 and 2004, and by a number of other European weapons manufacturers, which were channeled through the Royal Family-linked Coutts Bank, and through several shell companies set up in the British Virgin Islands and similar offshore financial havens. Those funds also made their way into accounts held by Pinochet, whom Lyndon LaRouche dubbed "the lickspittle of the British Empire," and his offspring, often under phony names, in Riggs Bank and several other foreign banks.

Judge Cerda has reportedly compiled new information, provided by authorities in the U.S., Switzerland and Gibraltar, showing the involvement particularly of Pinochet's youngest son, Marco Antonio Pinochet, as well as several retired Army officers, in creating the intricate web of illegal offshore financial entities through which the illegal commissions were laundered.

Pinochet family lawyers are screaming bloody murder, frantically seeking a way to get Cerda, an internationally-respected human rights lawyer, thrown off the case before he can do them more damage. LaRouche has also warned that under current conditions of global crisis, the British might well try to use Chile, which has historically served as a base for British operations against the rest of the continent, as a location from which to launch dirty destabilization operations.
