Miguel Krassnoff
Miguel Krassnoff is a former high-ranking military officer in Chile, known for his role in the human rights abuses committed during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship from 1973 to 1990. He was convicted of multiple crimes, including torture and forced disappearances, and sentenced to 1047 years in prison. Krassnoff is one of the most notorious inmates at Punta Peuco, a prison often criticized for its privileged conditions, reserved for former military and police members implicated in human rights violations. Recently, he was mentioned in the news as the Chilean government, led by President Gabriel Boric, announced plans to convert Punta Peuco into a regular prison facility, a move aimed at addressing concerns over the perceived leniency of the conditions enjoyed by its inmates.
