Spain wants Pinochet ' s widow to post bond
Rodrigo Garcia Pinochet
Rodrigo Garcia Pinochet  the dictator's grandson  said the clan was innocent and placed all its trust in Chile's judicial system.
 Garzon went after Pinochet in 1998 under a Spanish legal doctrine that allowed particularly grave crimes to be prosecuted in this country even if they are alleged to have been committed abroad and had no tie to Spain. Britain ultimately declined to extradite Pinochet  saying he was ill.

 Pinochet died in Chile in 2006 without having stood trial for abuses during his 1973-90 dictatorship.
 The amount of the bond sought by Garzon -- $77 348 374 -- is equivalent to the amount of state money allegedly pilfered and laundered by Pinochet  Garzon said. He said the figure came from by a Madrid-based human rights group which requested the probe  the Fundacion Espanola Presidente Allende  which obtained it from Chilean investigators.
 The foundation is named for Salvador Allende  the president that Pinochet ousted in 1973. Allende died in the coup.
