Storyline:  In 1998, former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet traveled to London, where he was unexpectedly arrested following surgery. The case, driven by Spanish prosecutor Carlos Castresana, raised the possibility of holding a Latin American leader accountable for human rights crimes. After 500 days under house arrest, Pinochet returned to Chile without conviction.
