A judge today granted bail to former Chile military strongman Augusto Pinochet in the case of nine dissidents who disappeared during his dictatorship, but the general remains under house arrest as another court reviews the decision.
Judge Victor Montiglio set bail at 10 million pesos, but said the Santiago Court of Appeals must uphold his decision before Pinochet can end his six-week long house arrest.
Pinochet (90) has remained under arrest at his guarded suburban Santiago mansion since Novenber 24th.
