Chile’s Supreme Court found seven retired military personnel guilty of kidnapping and murdering Chilean singer-songwriter Victor Jara, one of the most symbolic crimes of the Chilean dictatorship.
The Supreme Court rejected defense arguments against the November 2021 Court of Appeal judgment that sentenced Raúl Jofre González, Edwin Dimter Bianchi, Nelson Haase Mazzei, Ernesto Bethke Wulff, Juan Jara Quintana and Hernan Chacón Soto to 25 years in prison for murder and kidnapping musician, as well as the then director of the prison service, Littre Quiroga.
“The facts described (…) are real because they happened in a certain place and at a certain time and are proven, legally believed by means of evidence,” the court said in a unanimous decision on Monday.
