 SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - The grandson of Gen. Augusto Pinochet was discharged from the army Wednesday after causing an uproar with his eulogy denouncing judges who had tried the late Chilean dictator.
Capt. Augusto Pinochet Molina, 34, defended his grandfather's bloody 1973 coup at his funeral Tuesday and said judges who later sought to prosecute him were seeking "notoriety, not justice" — a comment that brought applause from mourners and censure from the president.
Army Gen. Oscar Izurieta said the announcement that Pinochet Molina had been discharged was delayed 24 hours out of "respect to his family."
