Espinoza Bravo, Pedro

Espinoza Bravo, Pedro
   A major (later brigadier general) in the armed forces and chief of operations of the Dirección de Inteligencia Nacional (DINA, Directorate of National Intelligence), the secret police in Chile. In October 1973 he took part in the caravan of death, a cross-country helicopter tour that resulted in the deaths of 75 political prisoners. In November 1993 Espinoza Bravo was convicted by a Chilean court of complicity in the September 1976 murders of Orlando Letelier del Solar and Ronni Moffitt in Washington, D.C. Because the crime had been committed outside the country, the amnesty law of 1978 did not apply. He received a sentence of six years and served time in a special military prison.
