Tuesday 27 October 1998 Pinochet faces arrest by Swiss By Christopher Lockwood, Diplomatic Editor GEN Augusto Pinochet last night faced arrest for the second time, as Geneva's public prosecutor ordered him to be provisionally held pending extradition to Switzerland on charges of assassination, kidnapping and the sequestration of assets. A spokesman for Interpol in London said an extradition warrant had been received from the Swiss police. It is expected to be passed on to Scotland Yard today. Although the general is already under arrest, following a request from the Spanish police on Friday Oct 16, the Metropolitan Police have no legal alternative but to serve the second warrant. Geneva's public prosecutor, Bernard Bertossa, yesterday formally demanded Mr Pinochet's extradition and his provisional arrest following a criminal complaint filed by the widow of a Swiss-Chilean student who accuses him of complicity in her husband's death. In a statement, Mr Bertossa said he had "arrived at the conclusion that the legal conditions are sufficient to open an inquiry against Augusto Pinochet, the former dictator of Chile, particularly on charges of assassination, kidnapping and sequestration". Alexei Jaccard, a Leftist student at Geneva University, disappeared in May 1977 in Buenos Aires where he had fled after he was tortured in Chile. Other extradition orders could include one from Sweden concerning the disappearance of three Cubans. Relatives of two British and three French alleged victims of Gen Pinochet's regime have also asked police to investigate. telegraph.co.uk
