On July 29, 2021, the Seventh Court of Guarantee of Santiago (El S\u00e9ptimo Juzgado de Garant\u00eda de Santiago) reopened an investigation into whether the Banco de Chile helped the former dictator Augusto Pinochet launder money.\u00a0 It notified the Supreme Court of Chile of the reopening of the case and advised the bank, whose ownership in related to the Pinochet family, to set aside $103 million.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n

The Spanish Court\u2019s Decision<\/em><\/p>\n

The plaintiffs are led by the President Allende Foundation, named after the former President Salvador Allende, whom Pinochet overthrew in a coup.\u00a0 The Foundation represents more than 20,000 victims of the Pinochet dictatorship.\u00a0 The plaintiffs allege the funds were obtained by illegal expropriations by General Pinochet and his associates and transferred to personal offshore accounts.\u00a0 The complaints allege that the transfers constituted acts of tax evasion and money laundering, which the Banco de Chile assisted.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

In 1998, Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon ordered Pinochet detained for crimes against humanity.\u00a0 Spain requested Pinochet\u2019s extradition from England.\u00a0 Although the English courts ordered him extradited, the British Home Office ordered that he not be extradited due to humanitarian considerations, namely his age and failing health.\u00a0 General Pinochet died under house arrest in Chile in 2006 without being tried.<\/p>\n

Banco de Chile, the Alleged Enabler, and the Luksi\u0107 Family<\/em><\/p>\n

Banco de Chile successfully claimed for years that Chile rather than Spain has jurisdiction to investigate the allegations.\u00a0 In 2013, the Chilean judiciary closed a money laundering investigation without charging the general or anyone else.\u00a0 A study commissioned by the Chilean Supreme Court stated only $2 million of the $21 million identified as Pinochet\u2019s personal wealth could be considered clean.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Chile\u2019s Supreme Court ordered the return of $1.6 million of Pinochet\u2019s assets.\u00a0 It convicted three of his former generals for fraud connected to public money.\u00a0 Banco de Chile paid Chilean authorities $3.1 million in 2009 for administrative irregularities concerning General Pinochet\u2019s money.\u00a0 However, the bank was never indicted.[3]<\/a><\/p>\n

Although the court told Banco de Chile it should set aside $103 million to cover potential payments to the victims, it has not yet ordered it to do so.\u00a0 Banco de Chile has deposits in around ten countries, six in the European Union.<\/p>\n

Qui\u00f1enco is the majority owner of the Banco de Chile.\u00a0 The Luksi\u0107 family has Qui\u00f1enco<\/a> as its holding company.\u00a0 Vladimir Luksi\u0107 was the brother-in-law of Augusto Pinochet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prosecutor Jos\u00e9 Morales has also charged Anita Mar\u00eda Pinochet Ribbeck, the spouse of former army general, Juan Miguel Fuente-Alba, and Fuente-Alba, with money laundering.[4]<\/a><\/p>\n

Morales claims that a report of the Financial Intelligence Agency shows the pair increased their wealth more than 280% between 2010 and 2016 by hiding and falsify the illegal source of their funds.\u00a0 The defendants, represented by Cuatrecasas<\/a>, one of the largest Spanish firms specializing in tax and money laundering, tried unsuccessfully to dismiss the case.[5]<\/a><\/p>\n

Analysis<\/em><\/p>\n

Spain has extraterritorial jurisdiction for Spanish victims.\u00a0 Already the Spanish courts imposed a penalty against Riggs Banks for alerting General Pinochet\u2019s to move the money in his accounts in London ahead of Garzon\u2019s request that Britain to freeze his accounts.[6]<\/a><\/p>\n

This case should be watched for its efforts to hold accountable Banco de Chile, the alleged enabler, almost 23 years after the initial charges in Spain.<\/p>\n

Spain\u2019s wide-ranging tax collection and enforcement and mutual assistance agreements with the EU countries may play an important role in this case.<\/p>\n

The case illustrates the use of extraterritorial jurisdiction when a court believes a foreign court, although exercising jurisdiction, have not properly adjudicated the case.<\/p>\n

The current issue of the IELR will have a more comprehensive discussion of the case.<\/p>\n
