True or False: In 1999, General Augusto Pinochet could not be extradited to Spain to stand trial for the torture and murder of Spanish citizens because those acts were committed in Chile.
False. In 1999, General Augusto Pinochet was arrested in the UK due to a warrant issued by Spanish judge Baltasar Garzón for his alleged involvement in human rights abuses, including torture and murder. However, the extradition process was complex and went through several legal challenges. Eventually, Pinochet was not extradited to Spain due to health reasons rather than on the grounds that the acts were committed in Chile.
