Chile Pinochet-era justice – Haase arrest
Entities: Victor Jara · Paola Plaza · Nelson Haase Mazzei · Littré Quiroga Carvajal · Chile
Overview
In late July 2024 Chilean authorities captured former army colonel Nelson Haase Mazzei, the last of seven convicted ex‑militaries still at large for crimes committed during Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship. The arrest ended his three‑year fugitive status and followed his 2023 conviction to 25 years and two days for the murder of folk singer Víctor Jara and prison director Littré Quiroga, plus kidnapping charges. Justice Minister Paola Plaza ordered his immediate incarceration, and the capture was hailed as a milestone in the country’s long‑running effort to hold Pinochet‑era perpetrators accountable.
Follow‑up reporting noted that legal proceedings continue against other former officers, such as ex‑army lieutenant Pedro Pablo Barrientos, who remains under investigation. Victims’ families and human‑rights groups welcomed the arrest but underscored the decades‑long delay in delivering justice for the regime’s crimes.
