Activities
Recent evidence has shown that Pinochet was involved in large-scale cocaine trafficking to Europe and the US (through The Enterprise) and that by the 1980s this was sanctioned as long a portion of the profits went to the Reagan-backed Contra armies in Nicaragua.[2] His regime oversaw the murder of an estimated 3,200 people and the torture of 28,000.[3][4]
