Daughter of Pinochet detained back in Chile

SANTIAGO - The oldest daughter of former dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet returned to Chile Saturday and was detained on tax evasion charges, after dropping a surprise bid for political asylum in the United States, where she said she lived ``a nightmare.''

LucĂ­a Pinochet, 60, was met in Santiago by a judge who served her notice of tax evasion and false passport charges against her.

The daughter of the former dictator told a reporter for Chile's state television who was on her flight, which flew from Washington to Argentina and on to Chile, that she was ''very badly treated'' in the United States.
