The Chilean judiciary decided on Tuesday to reopen the investigation into the death of the poet Pablo Neruda on September 23, 1973, an event that has been linked by his family and the Communist Party (PC) to the military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. They believe that new evidence could contribute to clarifying what happened.
In a unanimous ruling, the Court of Appeals of Santiago stated: "Considering the evidence that the investigation has not been exhausted, and that there are precise procedures that could contribute to clarifying the facts, the reopening of the investigation is ordered."
