SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) - A Chilean court on Wednesday dropped charges against Gen. Augusto Pinochet's wife and two of his grown children, who had been indicted as accomplices of the late dictator in a tax evasion case.
Pinochet's widow, Lucia Hiriart, his children Lucia and Veronica, and his long-time secretary Monica Ananias were cleared by the Santiago Court of Appeals Court.
The court, however, upheld the indictments of Pinochet's youngest son, Marco Antonio, and one of his lawyers, Oscar Aitken. Both face tax evasion charges but can still appeal to the Supreme Court.
